MDM Trouble Report for 2018 Feb 17

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Weil (Dartmouth)
Instrument: OSMOS/R

Problem(s) Encountered:
The faceplate had condensation on it and I attempted to remove it
using dry nitrogen which seemed to help a little bit but the
center of the faceplate still seemed out of focus with large out of focus
spots despite stars on the outside of the plate being in focus. 
I pointed the telescope down so that I could see the mirror and 
it looked fine. I tried to just take some observations to see if the 
remaining condensation would go down on its own but it never did. Humidity 
then rose above the limit again and I closed the telescope.
