Institution(s): MDM

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 0.8 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Clouds hung around all night but didn't affect observations
for the most part.

On two occasions I caught the telescope focus creeping up. The
first time I was unable to move the focus by any means. Decided
I would home everything and restart the TCS computer and chassis..
I had stowed the telescope and homed the dome by the time the 
focus responded to the hand paddle. Was able to send it to a 
value through the TCS as well. It had crept up 70 units. The 
second time it crept up 10 units but I was able to send it back 
to the original value no problem. Probably just a transient 
issue. Didn't really cost me that much time.
