MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2019 Mar 14

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

Instrument: OSMOS/B

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 3.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable, Unstable Seeing
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Seeing was terrible to start. I was still able to get
decent spectroscopy data, anyway. Conditions improved
as the night went on. 

When sending the telescope home at the end of the night,
it seemed to get stuck somehow. It would make tiny jumps
(I believe in RA) to try to get back. I stopped the slew
and tried again and it moved back to zenith normally. It
seemed (again, I think in RA) to whine a little bit. I 
recall hearing the noise several times throughout the night,
but didn't know what it was until closing.
