MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2018 Dec 14

Observer(s): Thorstensen, Weil and students
Institution(s): Dartmouth

Instrument: OSMOS/B

Worked for 4 hours (off and on through the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Overcast, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1+ arcsec, Overcast, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Cloudy night with occasional clear patches going overhead, which 
persisted long enough to get some useful data.  Seeing was not bad 
when it wasn't cloudy, and winds were light.

We tried the focus-following feature; after one of the closures,
when we re-opened the focus had changed by +150 or so and the 
telescope was out of focus.  I think the user interface might use
a little work, and intend to suggest changes to Damon.  Other than 
that, no problems worth noting.
