MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Mar 11

Observer(s): John Thorstensen, Holly Sheets
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Echelle CCD with 2in FW

No Observing (see comments below)
Bad weather most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Very bad weather all night.

Observing Summary:

Horrendous weather; rain, fog, snow.  Abrupt temperature drop
around 2 AM made it all snow.  In the morning as I write
this report it's brilliant sunshine and -5 Celsius.  Commercial
power is out, the generator has been running for quite a while
now.

Equipment seems fine, but we noticed that the SECPIX keywords 
are not being written in the CCDCOM headers.  This breaks my
star-finding procedures.  I (JRT) tried to trace the bug but
did not manage to find it yet.  It was OK in January and I suspect
this is traceable to the fix of the CCDCOM timing bug.
