MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 May 31

Observer(s): R. Mark Wagner
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Some light cirrus during the night could be seen on the all-sky camera.  Winds picked
after midnight for a short time with gusts up to 20 mph.  Seeing was around 1 arcsec
all night.  Prospero hung twice.  We had to Cntl-\ to get out of it.  Then launch 
Prospero again and do a restart.  OSMOS status came right back up.  In spite of the hang,
the two exposures underway completed just fine.  Telescope pointing and offset 
pointing are problematical.  Slit acquisition overheads are high using OSMOS as a
result.
