MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2007 Sep 09

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

Instrument: CCDS + Retrocam

Worked for 10.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 1900 until 2200.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 0.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Other than some intermittent cloud cover at the beginning of the
night, things went very well tonight.  We observed eight 
supernovae, Brad's AGN and Matthias' BL Lac.  We had some extra
time between the end of our last spectroscopic standard and the
time when it was possible to observe the BL Lac, so we also got
a single exposure of an additional supernova.  We will need to
go back to this object tomorrow night.

Seeing was especially good once the clouds cleared.
