MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2005 Sep 11

Observer(s): Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: modspec + echelle CCD

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

A very fine night 'til clouds rolled in around 2 AM; then
it cleared up again.

mdm server is unstable, and paddle problem described earlier
remains.  I did get server to stay up for a while by letting
it stay powered down for some hours, but it won't stay 
up indefinitely, so there's a problem.  South button issue
is unchanged as expected.
