MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Apr 26

Observer(s): Brown, Yan, Runge, Musin
Institution(s): University of Missouri-Columbia

Instrument: OSMOS+R4K

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

This was a photometric night. Sadly this was also the last night
of our run. On average the seeing condition was also the best among these
nights. The humidity was around 25% at the beginning, and steadily
increased to 68% around mid-night. It dropped to 40% at some point,
but for most of the time it stayed at ~ 60%.

We ran into problems (again) with OSMOS at the beginning of the night (see
the trouble report). Fortunately we were able to find a workaround
after following the OSMOS trouble-shooting procedure.

Overall speaking this was a good run, and we'd like to thank the
staffs for their support.
