MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2010 Nov 11

Observer(s): Haojing Yan
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The night was rather clear, but non-photometric. As we haven't
solved the focusing problem yet, the main observations tonight
were mainly spectroscopic. Some remaining targets from the backup
program of last night were also observed. The observer also took
some time to take a bunch of test images to monitor the stellar
image shapes over a ~30min period. While the worst case was not
caught by this limited test, some sudden change of the shape
(and hence the indication of sudden change in focus) is still
clearly seen.

All other observations went rather smoothly.
