MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 Mar 08 Observer(s): John Thorstensen Institution(s): Dartmouth Instrument: Modspec + echelle CCD No Observing (see comments below) Bad weather most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Rain all night. Observing Summary: Clouds grew lower and nastier all day, with intermittent bursts of wind. A few sprinkles by dinner morphed into steady drizzling rain all night and fog toward morning. For a combination of weather-forecast and scientific reasons, I'd like to ask that, if staffing permits, the change to direct be delayed until Tuesday. If this is not practical, please go ahead with the change, but otherwise please leave the spectrograph on for Monday night.
