MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Apr 07

Observer(s): Frank
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: MDM8K

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Chip 04 of the camera acts up again - just like e.g. Paul Martini has
already described. There does not seem to be a pattern to it, i.e.
it is rather unpredictable from exposure to exposure whether chip04 
will be fine...or full of the stripes.

Otherwise good night - pointing extremely stable !
