MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Apr 29

Observer(s): Terndrup
Institution(s): Ohio State

Instrument: OSMOS/R4K

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 4 arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Windy!  With bad seeing.  We did our backup program: 
time-series photometry of bright eclipsing binaries.
Winds were occasionally gusting near, but below, the
limit.  We kept a good watch for dust. 

Telescope jumped an arcmin or so N/S, especially late in
the night.  This caused a loss of guiding.  Details in
the trouble report.

Except for that, the guiding worked well.
