MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Dec 15

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

Instrument: modspec + echelle CCD

Worked for 8 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

 Mostly cloudy .  High cloud, heavy at times, with holes here and
there -- just enough so I didn't feel I could close.  Patience 
paid off in that I did manage to get some useful data when clear 
spots drifted by, but for the most part, I have a lot of really
bad spectra.  Everything did work, at least.
