MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2004 Oct 16

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

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 3 hours (part 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: Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate, High humidity
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate, High humidity

Observing Summary:

Not a great night.  Very cloudy the whole first half of the 
night, wasn't able to get any data.  Cleared up somewhat around
11pm, so managed to work for about 3 hours.  Humidity
was steadily increasing throughout the night, eventually passing
85%, so decided to close up.  Humidity is currently around 93% 
and  rising, so I don't believe there will be any more observing 
tonight.  

Pretty strong winds throughout the night as well.
