MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2009 Nov 06

Observer(s): S. Lepine
Institution(s): AMNH

Instrument: Direct + Echelle

Worked for 3 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 6pm until 5am.
   Beg: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Clouds for most of the night, but there was one small
hole in the evening, and the sky cleared up a couple hours
before sunrise. I got about 3 hours of usable clear time,
though a thin cirrus cover was possibly present. This
was enough to do 5 parallax targets, with reasonably good
counts amd seeimg.
