MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Dec 19

Observer(s): Haojing Yan & Zhiyuan Ma
Institution(s): University of Missouri-Columbia

Instrument: OSMOS + B4K

Worked for 10.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2-3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Overall clear night. However the seeing condition was still rather poor
and we had to adjust the focus frequently.

Soon after the night began, Prospero could not talk to filter1. We
tried to fix the problem, but it happened again very soon. As we were using
only one filter and we were sure that it was in place, we did not
further attempt to fix it. We lost about 20 minutes to this problem.
