MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Nov 24

Observer(s): Assef & Atlee
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS/Retrocam

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 1730 until 1830.
   Beg: Seeing 2.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

We had clouds for the first hour or so after sunset, which cleared
rapidly around 7PM.  We observed several supernovae as well as
M dwarf targets from K. Schlessinger and a BL Lac.

Retrocam started making a grinding noise when moving out part way
through the night; this did not cause us to lose any time, 
but causes some concern.
