Date | Name | Affiliation | Other Observers | Instrument | Hrs Observed | Hrs Lost | Reason | Observing Program |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
10/31/2026 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 0 | 9 | Humidity | Heavy fog and high humidity so never opened. |
10/30/2026 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | Gary Henson, Paiton Carroll | CCD | 3 | 6 | Clouds | Clear after sunset but clouds started moving in afterwards. Closed up after about three hours. Telescope worked fine, although I noted that the target resolution feature (for slewing to a target) returned errors no matter what I put in-- I think this was due to VizieR or SIMBAD being down and not anything to do with the telescope. M31, NGC 253, ZZ Psc. |
10/29/2026 | Michael Fauerbach | FGCU | NA | CCD | 7 | 3 | Humidity | Asteroid photometry/ Had to close for a while due to high humidity. |
10/27/2026 | William Keel | University of Alabama | Class | Andor CCD | 0 | 10 | Clouds | Class observing, or would have been had there been so much as a sucker hole. Did catch one attempted uncommanded dome opening (thwarted by having the power off on the switch rack). |
10/26/2026 | Michael Fauerbach | FGCU | NA | CCD | 0 | 10 | Clouds | clouds and high humidity never logged in. |
10/25/2026 | Michael Fauerbach | FGCU | NA | CCD | 5 | 5 | Clouds | Full Moon and increasing clouds. Three asteroid targets too close to Moon. Power to dome shutter id off and dome parked at 235 |
10/24/2026 | Michael Fauerbach | FGCU | NA | ccf | 0 | 10 | Humidity | Neve logged on due to high humidity |
10/23/2026 | Kaylee Grace | UD | Zach Savery, Caitlyn Mattison, Evelyn Palmer | CCD | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | White dwarf photometry. Parked dome at end of night and turned off power to it. No problems to report. |
10/21/2026 | Roi Alonso | IAC | none | ccd | 0 | 10 | Humidity | Humidity above limits. |
10/21/2026 | Robert Berrington | Ball State University | none | arc | 0 | 10 | Clouds | Poor weather prevented opening which included high humidity, and cloud coverage. |
10/20/2026 | Billy Quarles | ETAMU | None | CCD | 0 | 8 | Clouds | Eclipsing binaries. Cloudy for several hours around sunset and forecasted to be cloudy all night. |
10/17/2026 | Todd Vaccaro | BSU | n/a | Andor | 0 | 10 | Humidity | Opened after getting bias frames and never got to flats b/c humidity, so closed and never reopened. |
