MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Jan 23 Observer(s): John Thorstensen Institution(s): Dartmouth Instrument: Modspec + Echelle CCD Worked for 4 hours (off and on through the night) Conditions were Overcast most of the night. Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details. Seeing and Weather: Clouds all night. Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm End: Overcast, Winds Calm Observing Summary: Tonight's big story was heavy high cloud, and lots of it, with a few surprisingly long and usable breaks in them -- not just the usual sucker holes. Seeing was decent, when there was anything to see. I'm filing a trouble report, but it isn't anything that requires attention right away. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2014 Jan 24 [5:56:32]
