MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2018 Jul 10

Observer(s): Rupert
Institution(s): MDM

Instrument: OSMOS/B

Worked for 2 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Humidity from 1:30 until end.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Expected clouds to completely shutdown the night again.
But the heavens opened up around 11:30, and so did I!
However, I quickly ran into an issue with the instrument
rotator, namely that it wouldn't rotate. I power-cycled the
rotator electronics box and that did the trick. I also
ended up having to purge the instrument due to condensation
on the detector window. I had done that earlier in the day,
so I was hoping I wouldn't have to again. But alas.

At around 1AM the humidity rose above 85%, so I closed
up at that point for what would be the rest of the night.
