MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 May 12

Observer(s): K. Schlesinger
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

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: Clear, Winds Moderate, haze
   Mid: Clear, Winds Light & Variable, haze
   End: Clear, Winds Light & Variable, haze

Observing Summary:

Some haze and moderate wind affected the seeing. But otherwise 
it was a good night! No computer/instrument problems were 
encountered. 
One odd problem that didn't affect my work at all but did affect 
my morale was that the microphones between the dome and control room 
were picking up a high pitched noise and reverberating it between 
themselves. It started around the very end of the night, and I could 
not figure out the source. I ended up turning off the microphones.
