MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2017 Apr 28

Observer(s): Tom Holoien
Institution(s): Ohio State

Instrument: OSMOSB4k

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 3.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds High
   Mid: Seeing 3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 3.8 arcsec, Overcast, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Hazy clouds and strong winds caused bad seeing conditions (worse than 2.5 ) for the entire night.
Thicker clouds moved overhead during the last 1/3 of the night, causing problems with guiding and preventing most observations.
No mechanical issues with the telescope---the drifting/lurching issue seen the last two nights did not occur.
