MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Aug 20

Observer(s): S. Lepine
Institution(s): AMNH

Instrument: Direct + Echelle

Worked for 8 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Weather did not look promising at the beginning of the
night, with lost of cirrus clouds and thunderstorms
to the east and south. But the skies miraculously cleared 
up completely around 10:00PM, and I then resumed the 
parallax program. A few isolated patches of thin cirrus 
clouds were the only concern.

All worked well.
