MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Nov 16

Observer(s): David Jaimes, Stephanie Douglas
Institution(s): Columbia University

Instrument: ModSpec/Echelle

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: Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   End: Cirrus, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

We were able to observe all night! The seeing was moderate to 
bad, and there was cirrus and/or high clouds most of the night, 
but it looks like we got good data.  

In the afternoon we checked and found dew on ModSpec's detector 
window again. We used the dry Nitrogen feed to clear it before 
sunset. 

The mirror A/C was reading out 0% humidity and an unphysically 
low dewpoint, but the humidity was pretty low so we just 
monitored it using the weather station and by checking for dew 
outside.
