MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 Jan 09

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Modspec + Templeton

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

It was pretty cirrussy in the late afternoon, which really 
harshed my mellow because I had some time series to complete
tonight, but fortunately the night was mostly clear. The
seeing was even decent much of the time. Toward morning,
the winds kicked up and bands heavy cirrus started passing
through, but fortunately I didn't lose anything too crucial.  A
storm is forecast to pass through tomorrow night, so it's 
unlikely I'll open, which would make this the productive
night of the run.
