12/23/2024	Isaiah Cox	Clemson University	Dieter Hartmann	CCD	0	11	Clouds	Raining and humid. Never opened.
12/20/2024	Todd Vaccaro	Ball State University	na	Andor	5	8.5	Humidity	EB program. Eclipse missed as 3 HA stopped tracking, which required a full refresh of both machines. When humidity hit 80%+ as noticed in the SiteView of RM web pages (SARA tele pc always said 79% and the mini map no longer shows JKT info) I closed down losing the rest of the night. The dome refused to close upon first command, it said Ajar. I parked the dome at 235 and closed dome again, watched it close, checked with light on, and then turned light off.
12/19/2024	Kaylee Grace	University of Delaware/MCAO	Millie Dill, Zach Savery	Andor CCD	9	0	Clouds	A little cloudy, but stars still visible! Cut the night a bit short as we were about to hit +2 HA and have KP tonight. No hard resets needed tonight.
12/19/2024	Millie Dill	University of Delaware/MCAO	Kaylee Grace and Zachary Savery	CCD	10	0	No problems to report	Target: KUV 05134+2605. Studying for pulsations. No problems to report. Only issue was Windows pop-up saying the system (?) will no longer be supported. Clicked out of it, but I figured it should be mentioned here.
12/18/2024	Kaylee Grace	University of Delaware/MCAO	Millie Dill, Zach Savery, Raymond Fine, Jarrod Beiber, Ben Mayhew	Andor CCD	9	0	Software/Control PC Issues	Telescope hit the +2 HA limit. No issues other than that! Had to do a reset at the beginning of the night to get started but it was all good after that! Observed a pulsating white dwarf.
12/17/2024	Kaylee Grace	University of Delaware/MCAO	Millie Dill, Zach Savery	Andor CCD	10	0	Clouds	Quite cloudy but observed regardless. Could see through the clouds most of the night, so we'll see how the data comes out!
12/16/2024	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	0	11	Clouds	Clouds passing over for the entire night, the sky (on the allsky camera) looked "milky" between the clouds passing over so never opened.
12/15/2024	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	0	11	Humidity	High humidity and clouds all night long— never opened.
12/13/2024	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	0	11	Humidity	High humidity-- never opened.
12/12/2024	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	0	11	Humidity	High humidity all night— never opened.
12/09/2024	Todd Vaccaro	Ball State University	na	Andor	0	11	Humidity	EBs
12/08/2024	Michael Fauerbach	FGCU	NA	CCD	0	11	Other	At the beginning of the night I ran into issues with the ACE Node service on the telescope computer bein stuck in 'stoppig' mode. Thanks to everybody who had suggestions, rebooting both the camera and the telescope PC seemed to do the trick. All the all-sky cams showed clear skies, and the weather parameters at JKT seemed to be great, too. But all the images I took looked there was heavy cloud cover at our scope, so Idecided to close up.
