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

Instrument: Modspec + Echelle CCD

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: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Another very nice night, a bit warmer.  Some very good seeing,
with mirror staying below ambient, probably because A/C was
working during the day. All-sky camera showed light cirrus
through most of the night but it didn't become noticeable
until about 2 AM; it got pretty thick around 4, but fortunately
I had some bright targets to move to. 

I've noticed a tendency for pointing to drift during the night
so that one lands west of the target.  Can't be certain of 
this yet.

Ran a simple program on the 1.3m remotely.
