MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Oct 15

Observer(s): Zosia Krusberg
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 6 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Sky was thick with clouds at sunset, and sky remained cloudy 
all night.  Managed to get some data, however, guiding was 
made increasingly difficult by the clouds throughout the night.

Had some troubles when starting up, when all images came out 
blank.  Turns out the guide camera was blocking the view, and I 
had the 'safe' ranges for x & y switched.
