MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 May 20

Observer(s): Cassady
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Had trouble with telescope pointing and guide camera at beginning of the night.  Once I got that sorted out, I got a couple images, then the dome lost track of the telescope, causing another delay.

After correcting the dome, got some good images.  I think the pointing was a little off all night though.
