MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2017 Jun 07

Observer(s): Simonian
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: ModSpec/Echelle

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

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

Observing Summary:

There was cirrus all night, which led to a noticeably brighter
background from the full moon. There was one 15-minute period 
where a cloud went through the Kepler field and I stopped
observing. But after that, cloud opacity wasn't a problem. Was
able to continue taking data until twilight, when the clouds
thickened and made 8th magnitude standards look like 13th 
magnitude objects. After which, I closed up.
