MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Apr 14

Observer(s): E. Moran et al.
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 8.75 hours (all night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Cirrus present at sunset, and it definitely affected our first
target (but not seriously).  But it became completely clear
afterwards.  I'll defer to the 1.3m observer as to whether it
was photometric!  Seeing was not great for the first half of
the night, but was quite good in the latter half.  Everything
worked well, we were very efficient, and we got great data.

Overall, this was a fabulous run.  Almost no weather or hardware
issues, no delays.  Conditions were amazing, as was the support,
and the data we got are better than expected.
