MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2010 Dec 20

Observer(s): Khan
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 2.5 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Overcast most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Moderate
   End: Overcast, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Although opened dome and got to point the telescope, could not 
take any data as guide stars kept disappearing. Closed dome at 
7pm. Opened again briefly after mid-night but the condition did 
not improve. Also, there were brief (5-10 minutes at a time) 
spikes of the dew point in the dome throughout the night, 
although this shouldn't have caused any condensation as we were 
closed most of the time.
