MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Jun 11

Observer(s): McGreer
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Afternoon thunderstorms but sky cleared just at sunset.  Seeing
gradually improved throughout the night.  Managed quite a few
i and z band images of radio sources.

At the beginning of the night, MIS would hang on requests to
change the filter more than one position.  If I stepped 
through the filters one-at-a-time, there was no problem.
