MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Mar 10

Observer(s): Gavin Dalton
Institution(s): Oxford (Dartmouth)

Instrument: 8k camera

Worked for 7 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 1am until close.
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Patchy cirrus visible at sunset, became progressively worse
during the first half of the night. By moonrise this was ~70%
cloud cover, but my primary observing field happened to sit in teh 
clear patch to the W. When this field set I gave up as moon+cirrus
was too bright for stable guiding
