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

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

Instrument: CCDS and Retrocam

Worked for 9 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 3.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, high humidity
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The seeing oscillated between terrible and okay (max: 3.5 , 
min 1.2 ) tonight.  We were able to observe many of our targets,
but we're not sure how useful the data will be because of the
seeing.  Clouds moved in at about 3:30am and the sky became 
completely overcast.  We were not able to keep a guide star 
for more than a minute, the humidity was going up, and no break 
in the clouds looked to be on its way from the satellite 
images, so we closed up at 4:15am.  At least it makes you 
appreciate a great night more when you have one like this every 
now and then.
