Connection Issues
Observing white dwarf W 0420-478. Issues: telescope computer kept disconnecting and then would freeze. Ra and Dec were only visible, hit esc and it went away. However, it would still freeze so it would take a while for it to go to original format.

Connection Issues
Exoplanet. Had trouble connecting to the camera computer at first-- G. Henson was able to get that sorted out and all worked well from then on out.

Class project images - planets, stars, nebulae, clusters, galaxies. Focus 128500. Tracking accuracy varies wildly around the sky - longest exposures with round images range from 2-10 minutes depending on location.

I didn't have any takers for Nov. 8, so I used it for imaging galaxies, nearby stars, hoping to use those in class.. Weather great. Typical offset to south and west.

Telescope functioned properly except for one issue that did not stop observations. That is the connection issue with the guider.
