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

Observer(s): L. Watson
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS and Retrocam

Worked for 7 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 17:45 until 23:00.
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 3 - 4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The CCDS detector has warmed up and is currently getting warmer. 
See the trouble report for the disappointing details.

I had some minor problems with the hand paddle, but nothing too 
big.  I've described this more in the troble report as well.

The seeing was bad throughout the night, although I think it
might have gotten better at the very end (I didn't get a chance
to measure it though).
