MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Dec 08

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

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

A little cirrus from time to time, esp. early, but nothing much.
Good seeing -- I'm getting used to the focus, which seems to 
shift from low values to higher values through the night -- the
truss temperature compensation doesn't seem to be perfect. All
in all, very productive. Wind picked up a little at the end. 

There were a couple of telescope jumps.  They seem to happen to 
the west; one was around HA +2:50.
