MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Jun 10

Observer(s): John Thorstensen & Justin Anderson
Institution(s): Dartmouth (and MDM)

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 8 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

A really lovely night, with just a little cirrus around at
first that dissipated.  Seeing improved to a bit under 1 
arcsecond at times, once we got things focused correctly.

The dome did hang while tracking once, this time near about 30
degrees azimuth.  Justin and I were both there so he got to 
hear what it sounds like and saw how to correct it.  

On the very last object I had a really strange issue setting the
telescope, described in trouble report.
