MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Feb 08

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

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

This night was better than last night, with fewer clouds.
Everything went well, except for the last object of the
night, a standard star.  It was a long slew and the
telescope coordinates got lost by about 20 degrees.
I didn't have time to fully diagnose the error or
recover the pointing before sunrise, so I put the
telescope to zenith using the tilt meters.  I will 
establish the exact pointing tonight.
