MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 Oct 07

Observer(s): Fesen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 0.8-1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1-1.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1-1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Seeing was exceptional during the first half of the night
(and OK the second half) with seeing subarcsec
for several hours. However, there was considerable 
cirrus clouds during the times of best seeing
which often became heavy at times making observing
fainter targets difficult.

No instrument problems to report but the telescope doesn't
set accurately over large slews.
