MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2010 Oct 09

Observer(s): D. Milisavljevic
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Mark III + Templeton

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Fairly smooth night with clear skies throughout. Andor cameras continue to work well
with no problems encountered. Ability to focus in 'real time' while exposing is
advantageous. Seeing was variable and not nearly as good as last night, which
was disappointing. Had a good chuckle when I could easily locate a +19 mag
supernova with a 1.5 sec integration speed.
