01/19/2025 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 5 | 0 | No problems to report | Mp problems. Exoplanet. |
01/18/2025 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | Exoplanet. No problems! |
01/10/2025 | Kaylee Grace | University of Delaware/MCAO | Millie Dill, Zach Savery | CCD | 9 | 0 | No problems to report | Observed a pulsating white dwarf. Beautiful weather, no problems to report. |
01/09/2025 | Kaylee Grace | University of Delaware/MCAO | Millie Dill, Zach Savery | CCD | 9 | 0 | Software/Control PC Issues | Telescope computer appeared to have turned off/was unresponsive between closing last night and attempting to connect today. A restart from the switch rack fixed it, and we had no more issues. Observed a pulsating white dwarf. |
01/08/2025 | Kaylee Grace | University of Delaware/MCAO | Millie Dill, Zach Savery | CCD | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | Our object rose early in the night so we stopped observations ~90 minutes earlier than we probably could have gone. All was well! No problems to report. |

12/29/2024 | Robert Berrington | Ball State University | none | arc | 7 | 0 | Equipment Failure | Guide camera appears to be producing images, but the light from the telescope is not making it to the camera. I do not know if this is known, but at time of twilight flats, I took a guide camera image and minimal light was making it to the camera even just prior to sunset. |
