MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Feb 28

Observer(s): Tannirkulam & Zhao
Institution(s): Michigan

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 2.5-3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

We obtained low res spectra on about a dozen targets tonight. The sky was clear although 
seeing was bad throughout the night.

We had problems with the telescope positioning early in the morning. 
Once the star was acquired into the CCDS slit viewing camera we could not move the 
star into the slit. Each time we tried paddling the star into the slit, the telescope would acquire
big offsets and throw the star out of the slit viewer field of view.
