MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2010 Mar 20

Observer(s): Gaudi, van Saders, Shappee
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 8 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 0.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Beginning of the night went fairly smoothly.  The seeing wasn't
great, but we got some observations of a few supernovae.  The wind
was moderate (up to 20 mph)

We then ran into problems with the dome, which are described
in the trouble report.  We spent several hours trying to solve
this, but ultimately failed.   

We then decided to just observe and move the dome manually.  
Naturally, the seeing was excellent at this point (0.8 ).
