MDM Trouble Report for 2014 May 30

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Stevens/Mosquera (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
Could not observe n3227 at 3:38 UTC. From log:

Small EW oscillations, had difficulty getting into slit.
Staying in slit but periodically losing guiding for a few seconds 
at a time. Possibly due to clouds, but wind is also high (still 
gusting to 20s). With 400s left, lost guiding and source NE moved
 out of slit for extended period of time. Aborted and saved. 
HA=-2:36, Dec=19:48.

Then moved to Feige 34 and successfully observed target. Went back
to NGC 3227 afterwards (4:21 UTC) and failed once again to 
get data. From log:

HA=3:06, Dec=19:48. Lost guiding at 1000s due to clouds; object
 moved out of slit briefly but returned, as did guiding. 
Aborted/did not save with 649s left: target moved out of slit 
for prolonged period and guiding was lost. Move to pg1244

Also saw small amplitude N-S oscillations while observing Hz44:
HA=03:03, Dec=36:04, 7:24 UTC
