MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Jan 14

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

Instrument: OSMOS

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

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.3 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1. arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Cirrusy at start but they appeared to clear off well (using
all-sky camera).  Windy at start too, but those died down nicely,
and the night was quite good. The mirror cover opened normally
and the GUI indicated the petals were all up.  The dome shutter
is making a bit more of a racket than I remember toward the top
of the travel, with a more rapid tak-tak-tak like a gear slipping,
but I'm not certain.
