MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Jun 12

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

Instrument: OSMOS

Worked for 6 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Overcast, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Patchy altocumulus and other mid-level cloud rolled in before
sunset - the sunset was red, likely due to smoke.  Kitt Peak 
never opened, but I didn't think it was that bad, and there
were some good clear intervals in which I got some good data. 
Around 2 AM the clouds got more consistently bad and the 
satellite images were not encouraging, so I closed up
for the night.
