Observer(s): Carroll, Babu
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 13 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 6pm until 2am.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

The beginning of the evening was overcast and so we did not begin observing
until about 2 am. Once the cloud cover left we experienced average seeing and
were able to observed 2 targets.

At one point while rotating the instrument, the readout on the TV jumped from
around -20 to something like -680. We rotated the instrument back and the
problem went away.
