MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2015 Oct 16 Observer(s): Sheffield Institution(s): Columbia Instrument: Modspec+Echelle No Observing (see comments below) Bad weather most of the night. No equipment or software problems were encountered. Seeing and Weather: Rain all night. Observing Summary: Lightning shutdown in the afternoon. There was an assortment of rain/clouds/lightning and high humidity all night. The bright side was some pretty rainbows in the late afternoon. The sky still looks ominous so I will restart tomorrow afternoon, weather permitting... The only quirk I noticed was that the E-W tiltmeter read around -0.22 throughout the night. I'm not sure what caused the drift since yesterday morning, when it was balanced. ------------------------------ Submitted on 2015 Oct 17 [5:27:04]
