Observer(s): Thorstensen/Klusmeyer
Institution(s): Dartmouth/MDM

Instrument: OSMOS+B4k

Worked for 6 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Partly-cloudy night with long clearish stretches and at least one 
substantial cloudy interval.  Improved osctrtask a little, so
one can change target coords in maximDL rather than moving the
guide probe - -this is less sloppy.  

Had trouble with the dome only counting one way and a long 
frustrating interval with the data-taking system -- lost maybe
a couple of hours in total to equipment.  See report.
