MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 Aug 26

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: modspec + echelle CCD

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:


A little warmer and breezier than previous nights, and almost 
perfectly clear. Seeing was mostly good but occasionally 
a bit muddy, esp. at larger airmasses.

The shutter and the dome both behaved themselves.  I haven't
touched the dome azimuth setting in three nights, and it is still
perfect.

I heard two mousetraps fire during the night.
