MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Feb 06

Observer(s): Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: OSMOS

No Observing (see comments below)
Conditions were Overcast most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.

Observing Summary:

I arrived a day later than planned because of the snowstorm in
the east.  Drove up with the Santa Fe, arriving at about 9pm.
It has been overcast all night, so at least I can say that I
didn't give up any observing time.  I tried out the calibration
lamps and different formats of the detector.

I understand that Filter2 is not working.  I can mostly get
along with the SDSS filters in Filter1, except that it would
be useful to move the B filter into Filter1 in place of either
one of the DES filters.  Obviously, there has to be an open
position in each filter wheel.

If no observer is going to claim the night after my run
(Monday), I may be interested in using that night, since
I don't leave Tucson until Tuesday morning.  Unless there
is some engineering work already planned for Monday?

Since it is scheduled to be cloudy for the rest of the night,
I will fill the dewar and go to bed now, to put some sleep
time in the bank.
