MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2017 Mar 28

Observer(s): John Thorstensen
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: modspec + echelle CCD

Worked for 10.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   Mid: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Very nice dark night, pretty much entirely clear.  Started out
quite windy but winds diminished with time. Seeing
rather variable. No technical problems, except that the instrument
rotator momentarily flashed a nonsensical value (hundreds of
degees); cured by rotating back toward zero and then trying again.
This is a known, highly intermittent problem.
