MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2012 Feb 16 Observer(s): Marcel Agueros & Emily Bowsher Institution(s): Columbia Instrument: Modspec + Nellie No Observing (see comments below) Bad weather most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Snow all night. Observing Summary: Snowing and cloudy all night, so we never opened. We used three hours or so to test Owl and take biases/flats/lamps--the latter we took at 10 deg intervals from 90 to 30 in altitude and at azimuths of 90, 180, 270, and 360 deg, in our quest to map out potential flexure problems... which there doesn't seem to be much evidence for, as our by-eye estimates were that lines were moving by at most a couple of pixels from one side of the sky to another. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2012 Feb 17 [9:49:04]
