MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Oct 12

Observer(s): Thorstensen & Alper
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: modspec + echelle ccd

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1-2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1-2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Another good night, but breezy through much of it, with
intermittent poor seeing.  

I'm reasonably sure the mirror AC isn't working.  Temperature 
history shows the mirror free-running, even though the system
claims to be cooling.  Hard to tell what it's doing since the 
A/C cold air output reading is on the fritz.  Please have a look
if possible.
