MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2017 Feb 10

Observer(s): Ryan Chornock
Institution(s): Ohio University

Instrument: OSMOS/B

Worked for 12 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 1.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

A pretty good night, considering the full moon and weather forecast.  Some dark clouds were visible on the northwestern horizon at dusk, but they never came close.  Instead, I had some scattered cirrus and patchy clouds increasing through the night.  However, I was able to keep observing until dawn.

The telescope pointing and focus were pretty far off at the beginning of the night, but I zeroed the pointing on a bright star and things were smooth after that.
