MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2019 Jan 30

Observer(s): Elisabeth Newton
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: Modspec

Worked for 9 hours (last half of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 1800 until 0100.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm
   End: Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Started out cloudy with a chance of meatballs. I thought the night would be a total wash, but it eventually cleared. Patchy clouds persisted for awhile, annoyingly right on top of my targets. The only  trouble  was that it sometimes took TCS a few tries to recognize it was supposed to move to a new target. Once the dome moved without the telescope.
