MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2010 Jun 17

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Modspec + Templeton CCD

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Excellent clear night, seeing got to be reasonable also.  
Templeton performed well.  I did manage to autoguide several
spectroscopic fields using Maxim DL and (binned) subframes -- the 
bugfix they sent appeared to work!  The Maxim software is a bit 
cumbersome to use compared to Andor's, but it has the advantage of
self-calibrating the guider, which makes it more foolproof.
