MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Feb 09

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

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 10 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

The night started with only light cirrus, but it gradually got
more cloudy until I decided to give up at 4:30am when it was too
dense.  I had no trouble with pointing tonight.  

With regard to my trouble report, I further noticed that
clicking the mouse in the Prospero Command Window would
get the sequence started again, as though the information
were in the mouse instead of the window.  Also, at the end
I did a startup command in the Prospero window, which I'm
hoping will fix this minor problem.  I did notice that a
couple of temperatures in the Prospero Status window
had been corrupted (the Bench and IEB), which was cured
by startup.  I won't do anything more drastic unless
instructed to.
