General Observing Documentation

MDM Observatory is one of the largest astronomical facilities where there is no nighttime operator or support.  The visiting scientists and students are responsible for telescope and instrument operation.  This is only possible because of highly intuitive telescope systems and the vast knowledge base of our long-term users.  Still, sometimes it all comes down to document-searching.  Below, you will find documentation related to everything from guiding the telescopes to CCD operating software.
