MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2022 Jan 16

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

Instrument: OSMOS + B4k

Worked for 6 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

There was a moderately clear intarval early on and I got some 
data then, but when my highest-prioriy object rose, the clouds 
became heavier and more persistent.  Because there were holes 
here and there I tracked it for several hours, without getting 
anything usable in the east, where I wanted it to be sure of 
the daily alias.  I wss finally rewarded with a few good 
spectra, and closed up before 4 to head for the airport.

I had no troubles with the dome, but 
sent it home manually, since the home sensor is apparently not
working.
