10/28/2024	Walter Van Hamme	FIU	Samec	ANDOR Camera	10	0	No problems to report	Observations of WW Phe.
10/27/2024	Walter VanHamme	FIU	SWamec	ANDOR Camers	9	null	No problems to report	Light curve Observations of WW Phe.
10/26/2024	Martha A. Leake	Valdosta State University	none	Andor	11	0	No problems to report	Asteroid light curve and southern objects. Wonderful night. Noted objects 4-5 arcminutes south of center of frame.
10/25/2024	Catalina Ávalos-Vega	Universidad de Antofagasta	-	CCD	7	null	No problems to report	Transit observed from 04:00 to 09:00 UT. Focus: 129551, and exposure time of 180s. No problems to report.
10/18/2024	Stephen Gillam	Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University	Jadia Ewing	Nador	7	0	Other	Pointing was off about 8 arcminutes in the west direction
10/18/2024	Stephen Gillam	Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University	Jadia Ewing	Nador	7	0	Other	Pointing was off about 8 arcminutes in the west direction
10/16/2024	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	9	0	No problems to report	Exoplanet. No problems at all-- everything worked well.
10/14/2024	Michael Fauerbach	FGCU	NA	CCD	8	1	Clouds	focus on Trojan asteroid 317. Full Moon and clouds were not ideal and clouds got thick for a while in the middle of the night. Camera computer is 17seconds fast and I was unable to correct this. Pointing was off in both RA and DEC -object outside the FOV of telescope.
10/15/2024	William Keel	University of Alabama	Sam Grunblatt, Astro 203 class	Andor CD #2	6	0	No problems to report	Class targets and operations demo. Focus 128100. Typical offset to center target after telescope slew was (-740",-300"). Pleased to find that HA limit for LMC is greater than 6 hours.
10/13/2024	Stephen Gillam	ERAU	None	CCD Camera	0	9	Clouds	Microvariables.
10/10/2024	Catalina Ávalos-Vega	Universidad de Antofagasta	-	CCD	2	8	Humidity	The cloud level decreased during the night, however the humidity remained high during the night, reaching 80% > humidity. On the other hand, the temperature with the dew point had a difference of less than 5 units during the night. Therefore, only calibration images were taken.
10/08/2024	Billy Quarles	TAMUC	Matt Wood	CCD	0	12	Humidity	Closed due to humidity; increasing cloud cover for next 12 hours
10/06/2024	Catalina	Universidad de Antofagasta	-	CCD	null	null	Clouds	No observation due to the dense clouds in the sky.
10/02/2024	William Keel	University of Alabama	4 cats	Andor CD #2	10	0	No problems to report	AGN hosts, nebulae. Focus 126800. Only issue was that tracking became very poor near 3 hours east, -10 degrees.
10/02/2024	Catalina Ávalos-Vega	Universidad de Antofagasta	-	CCD	6	1	No problems to report	Observation started at 22:30 UT and ended at 7:30 UT. During the night transit of TOI-4282 was observed with filter i' (00:57-05:41 UT) and focus 127201. Good weather conditions.
