MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observing Report for 2024 Mar 30

Observer(s): Nunez, Lawsky
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: OSMOS 4k

Worked for 5.5 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   High Winds all night.
   Beg: Clear, Winds High
   Mid: Clear, Winds High
   End: Fog/Low Clouds, Winds High

Observing Summary:

Clear skies prevailed during most of the night. Winds were strong
(sustained ~20mph and 30+mph gusts) throughout the night.
Seeing was awful, which made guiding difficult. Humidity remained 
stable at ~50% throughout the night, but at around 1:30am it
started to slowly creep up. Then suddenly, it went from ~ 75% to 85%
in a matter of a few minutes, and ground level thick clouds rolled 
in. We rushed to close the telescope and informed the 1.3m observer
when we did.
