MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Jun 23

Observer(s): J. Thorstensen, J. Skinner
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Modspec + echelle CCD

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

All told a good night, but interrupted at times by high clouds
blorched up by a huge system down in Mexico.  Seeing was quite
good and the guider focus held its position just fine.  Windy
at times, above 20 mph, but nothing too alarming. We can
now do real-time velocity reductions and were able to watch the 
velocity curve of an SDSS CV develop as we watched, so we 
already know we have a result.
