MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Jun 26 Observer(s): Halpern, Roberts Institution(s): Columbia U. Instrument: Templeton Direct No Observing (see comments below) Conditions were Overcast most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Clouds all night. Observing Summary: Opened once, and managed to set the pointing and crude focus, but didn't get any data. The startup after lightning shutdown in the evening produced fewer problems than last night. The only one was that the UPS came up in the same (unprotected) state as last night. This time, I was able to get it back to normal following Bob's instructions, but honestly I don't know what I was doing and why it isn't automatic. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2006 Jun 27 [3:03:15]
