MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2011 Feb 08

Observer(s): Marcel Agueros & David Fierroz
Institution(s): Columbia U

Instrument: MODSPEC+ECHELLE

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were 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:

Terrific conditions, smooth sailing, a great bounce-back night
after my self-inflicted problems the night before.
One small note: the temperature readings associated with the AC 
system appear to have shut down--not just the mirror reader, 
but also the telescope/external readers. So the graph in the 
computer room threw me for a loop this morning, since there was
no temperature data for the last 12 hours. I made a best guess
as to what temperature to set for the mirror of 2 C (or 3 C, I
don't remember).
