MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2016 Jan 16

Observer(s): Alper
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: Modspec/Echelle

Worked for 8 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 17:30 until 02:00.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds High

Observing Summary:

The night started out cloudy, and more or less remained that way.
Things seemed nicely clear around 2:00 am, though intermittent
clouds plagued us throughout the evening. Seeing was poor at best.

The squeak in the telescope persists, seemingly more severe while
aimed anywhere in the east. The guider also putzed out a few
times, so that fun little irritance persists, but thankfully there
were no huge problems tonight.
