MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2019 Nov 11

Observer(s): Podjed
Institution(s): Dartmouth College

Instrument: OSMOS/B

Worked for 10.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 01h00 until 03h00.
   Beg: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.19 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Able to open up as usual; clouds from this afternoon had
cleared up. Around 22h30 the power flickered off/on twice; 
from the radio, seems like it was the case for the whole mountain. 
23h00 power flickered again, not as long and did not happen
again. When I had to change rotator angle, the hand paddle
in the dome did not work; neither did the rotator gui inside.
Found similar issue in a previous trouble report and power cycled the
rotator electronics box on the telescope- fixed the problem.
Heavy clouds came in ~1h00-~3h00.
