MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2016 Oct 23

Observer(s): Frank & Swihart
Institution(s): OSU & MSU

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 9 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 6pm until 9pm.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 0.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

When the whole summit was engulfed in thick clouds for several hours today, I would have bet a lot of money on not being able to catch one single photon from space tonight.

Glad to say that I would have lost that bet : excellent night (after 9pm local time), with
surprisingly good conditions and a machinery that worked to perfection.
