MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Oct 23

Observer(s): Fesen and Black
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Very good night overall. Used CCDS in high dispersion mode.
No problem with telescope but guider x-y stage got stuck
at x=3000 near the end of the night. Tried re-initializing 
the MIS but this did not clear up the problem. Minor issue
and worked around it but should be looked at for next observer.

Thanks Eric, Paul, and Tony for installing CCDS on the telescope
on very short notice.
