MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 Jul 04

Observer(s): Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 1 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Overcast most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

It got too cloudy within an hour of opening.  In the brief
time I had to search for targets, the telescope pointing would
be off by a few arcminutes after a long slew.  This happened
twice, but I didn't have enough time to establish whether
the error was confined to one axis.  The first, time I could
find the nearest bright star by searching randomly, but the
second time I was already close to zenith, so I restablished
pointing using the tilt sensors.
