Date	Name	Affiliation	Other Observers	Instrument	Hrs Observed	Hrs Lost	Reason	Observing Program
11/12/2025	Kaylee Grace	UD/MCAO	N/A	CCD	0	8	Clouds	Rainy :(
11/11/2025	Kaylee Grace	University of Delaware	N/A	CCD	0	8	Humidity	Humidity kept going up and down. NOT weather was fine but site map showed JKT as high as 97% at some points.
11/10/2025	XIANMING HAN	Butler University	Aidan Cain	ccd	11	0	No problems to report	active stars
11/09/2025	XIANMING HAN	Butler University	none	ccd	11	0	No problems to report	active stars. Note to future observers: The power to the dome shutter door is turned off after closing down the observatory using the APC switched rack pdu. It needs to be turned back on in order to open the shutter door.
11/08/2025	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	11	0	No problems to report	Asteroid (simultaneous with CT to determine parallax), M31, supernova, exoplanet. When I first logged on, the dome was closed but the power was not turned off to it. I made sure that I turned the power to the dome off when I closed down at the end of the night. Everything worked well so no problems to report.
11/04/2025	William Keel	University of Alabama	Sam Grunblatt, Observational Astronomy class	Andor CCD	11	0	No problems to report	H II regions, comets, class objects, Focus 98300, guider focus 420. Guider works if you manually enter the ROI around a star (I use +/-100 pixels in each coordinate).
11/04/2025	William Keel	University of Alabama	Sam Grunblatt	Andor CCD	0	10	Connection Issues	Both telescope and camera computers were unreachable, via RAdmin or rustdesk. The ING weather station showed blanks for instrument outputs, so the outage (whether power or connection) may be wider than the dome itself.
11/03/2025	Antonio Circiello	Clemson	Dieter Hartmann	RM	11	0	No problems to report	Observations for Clemson Projects. Good weather all night, no issues to report.
11/01/2025	Ken Watanabe	Florida Gulf Coast University	Jonathan Zielinski	CCD	6	2	Equipment Failure	All went well. Dome and mirror cover closed as well as parked. Dome shutter switched off. Did have small issues with slewing the telescope not slewing due to equipment failure.
11/01/2025	Ken Watanabe	Florida Gulf Coast University	Jonathan Zielinski	CCD	0	8	Software/Control PC Issues	Could not get the dome to open despite weather being okay to open. Dome parked and closed. mirror cover closed.
10/31/2025	Michael Fauerbach	FGCU	NA	CCD	6	3.5	Clouds	Asteroid photometry, lots of intermittent clouds. Just after I closed the humidty jumped from 37% to 92% in a few minutes. Parked the dome at 235, checked with the camera that the dome was closed, and switched off the night light and the dome shutter.
10/30/2025	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	Gary Henson	CCD	10	0	No problems to report	M31, NGC 7331, EE Cep, other. No problems-- everything worked as it should. A beautiful night!
