MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Jan 05

Observer(s): Halpern, Tyagi, Zimmerman
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: CCDS + Retrocam

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

As for the past few days, clear skies but very poor seeing,
and windy.  So it was difficult to chose useful targets. 
This is the end of the queue run.  Instruments worked very
well throughout.

We enjoyed the interactive lensed QSO web page.  Wish we could
redeem  priority points  for frequent flier miles, or some such.
