MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 May 17

Observer(s): D. Milisavljevic
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 4 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Calm
   End: Overcast, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

I did a lightning shutdown in the early afternoon because of a
storm that passed through.  Nothing serious, I just played it
safe.  I ran into a few hitches bringing the computers
back online (namely getting CCDS to function properly), but I
managed to get things working again.  Internet connection was
lost late afternoon.  I called Bob who suggested that I restart
the T1 Router. That seemed to do the trick.  Thanks Bob!!!

Overall I only managed to observe half of the night.  Cloud cover
became too think around 1am so I closed up and didn't reopen
for the remainder of the evening.

A big thanks to Bob and Paul who helped me out considerably
this run.  See you in June!
