MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Oct 20

Observer(s): Siverd,Eyler,Eastman
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS + RetroCAM

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

We observed several SNe for SDSS, in addition to Brad's AGN,
Matthias' BL LAC, and the variable in M37.

We got Jose's email about the pattern noise in the biases right 
after we started observations on Brad's AGN, but since it was so 
bright, we didn't worry about it. Before we started the faint 
SNe, we moved the HE plug on the power strip and it went away. 
We'll investigate the exact cause tomorrow (or I suppose this) 
afternoon.
