MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 May 06

Observer(s): Jenna Lemonias, Steven Mohammed
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 7 hours (first 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 Moderate
   Mid: Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

We set up the instrument and got some calibrations but were unable to take any science images.
We think the pointing might be off but we reset the pointing from the zenith and that did not help.
We were not able to find any of our science images.
The CCDS Acquisition Camera yielded some confusing images: close to zenith,
the images were dark as one would expect.  When we pointed at what we thought were our
science targets, the images were lighter than we expected as if there were
some interfering light, but we couldn't find any source of light in the dome.
I will email Eric pictures.
