MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2019 Dec 11

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

Instrument: OSMOS/B

Worked for 9 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Arrived at the observatory about 10 PM after traveling.  Opened, 
resolved the pointing problem by going to defaults and finding
a star, refocused, and then worked the rest of the night.  Took
the startup slow.  Conditions were quite good, a little high cloud
at first, but very clear later with decent seeing.  It was,
however, full moon.

I focused the osmos camera at the start, and found it had been
left a couple hundred units too high.

Only one glitch -- the repeater monitor in the dome for setting
the rotator isn't coming on.
