MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 May 29

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

Instrument: Templeton

Worked for 9 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, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The night started out partly cloudy, but cleared nicely after the
first hour or so.  

I noticed that the UT clock on the TCS differs by 5 seconds
from the other computers.

Telescope pointing is usually off by a couple of arcminutes
after a long slew, as others have noted.  This tells me
that a new pointing map is needed.
