MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2005 Oct 13

Observer(s): patrick cseresnjes
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: 8K camera

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 2.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

first half of the night of relative good quality, but the seeing
gradually worsened towards the end of the night. A few clouds
from time to time, but they had little impact on the
observations. On the technical side, things went very smoothly.
The ability of displaying images faster with the new computer
is very helpful for the flats.
