MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Feb 23

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

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Aylin and Will used the 1.3m tonight and handed me the 2.4m. It
had been overcast in the afternoon but then cleared before
sunset, quite well, with decent seeing.  Full moon!  Cirrus
rolled in just before dawn.  

I had one really odd issue with the guider, consistent with it 
issuing consistent west commands when it shouldn't have, but 
lost very little time.  See the trouble report.
