MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2011 Nov 21

Observer(s): Pellerin
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: OSMOS + 4k

No Observing (see comments below)
Bad weather most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity from 4pm until 3am.

Observing Summary:

No observations due to high humidity and condensation.

The humidity level was way above 85% from the beginning of the night until ~3am.
By ~3am, the humidity level started to drop. However, there was condensed water everywhere. 
When I tried to open the garage door to ventilate the dome, a lot of water dropped on me from the door.

With so much water on the surfaces, I decided to wait a little more. 
I didn't want water falling off the dome slit and on the telescope while opening it.

Around 4am, I noticed ice on the car and other surfaces.
