MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 Dec 27

Observer(s): Alex Gianninas
Institution(s): University of Oklahoma

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 12.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

I lost a total of about 30 minutes at the start of the night 
because I had to reconnect the paddle for the instrument rotator 
in the dome. However, once that was done there were no further 
technical issues. 

The guiding was a bit sluggish at the beginning of the night but 
it smoothed out as the night went on.

All in all, it was a very productive night of spectroscopy.
