MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2006 Oct 18

Observer(s): Prieto
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS + RETROCAM

Worked for 10 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds from 8 UT  until .
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing > 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

The night was relatively good, at least much better than
last night with the humidity between 30-50%. 
Did spectroscopy and imaging of faint supernovae while
the winds where calm and the seeing was good.  
The winds started to get stronger at the end of the night
(~20 mph) and the seeing was really bad at the end 
(> 2.5 arcsec), so I decided to close ~2 hours before
sunrise. I didn't have problems with the instruments.
