MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2015 Oct 20

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

Instrument: modspec+echelle CCD

No Observing (see comments below)
Bad weather most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Fog all night.

Observing Summary:

Bad weather all night, starting with fog at sunset and some bits
of rain.  There's some T-storm activity around so I'm filing an
observing report now (2:30) since there's no possibility of 
opening and I may go into lightning shutdown if the threat gets
worse.

I notice that the weather station humidity never reads above 
96% even when the place is dripping wet in fog.  It may need some
kind of calibration.

Paul asked about temperatures in the lounge etc. area - it could
be set lower a couple of degrees F, I think.
