MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 Jun 04

Observer(s): Villanueva
Institution(s): The Ohio State University

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 7 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The pointing was off at the beginning of the night. So much so 
that no suitable stars could be found in the field of view. This 
was compounded by the fact that later the dome was 90 degrees out 
of phase with the telescope. After many attempts, including 
sending the telescope to zenith to set the RA/DEC encoders, 
pointing was eventually restored at the cost of 2 hours of 
observing time. After pointing was restored there were no 
problems.
