MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2013 Sep 17

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

Instrument: Nellie direct

Worked for 3 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Overcast most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Lovely night out, but very frustrating for astronomy with 
most of the sky covered by heavy high clouds.  Did manage to 
get a few objects through sucker holes, and there was finally
a stretch near the end which was mostly clear for a couple
of hours.  

Telescope was close to correct focus at start, and guider probe 
didn't even require touchup.
