MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2017 Jun 11

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

Instrument: ModSpec/Echelle

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Skies were completely clear. However, seeing was degraded by
winds of around 15 mph. While Kitt Peak closed due to high winds, 
the winds here were not even close to 40 mph, so I kept
observing.

At sunset, the surrounding area was so hazy I couldn't see past 
the mountain base. However, monitoring for dust using the
flashlight throughout the night did not indicate a dust storm.
