Date	Name	Affiliation	Other Observers	Instrument	Hours Observed	Hours Lost	Reason	Observing Program
12/13/2023	Isaiah Cox	Clemson University	Dieter Hartmann	CCD	7	0	No problems to report	blazars
12/08/2023	Scott Joffre	Clemson University	yong Sheng, Dieter Hartmann	ccd	7.5	0	No problems to report	Went fine. Accidentally exposed to bright light because CT webcam image is not updating (some date in late November)
12/06/2023	Kaylee Grace	University of Delaware	Easton Honaker, Millie Dill, Zach Savery	CCD	5	0	No problems to report	Observed a pulsating helium atmosphere white dwarf until the W limit was reached. Did some imaging of NGC 362.
12/04/2023	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	6	0	No problems to report	Pointing was off-- one target was missed by over three degrees, but other than that, everything worked well.
11/29/2023	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	3	0	No problems to report	Everything worked, but the pointing was a little off.
11/23/2023	Stephen Levine	Lowell Obs.	None	Imager	0	8	Other	Did not observe. Observer got the date wrong.
11/19/2023	Stephen Levine	Lowell Observatory	none	Imaging camera	2	0	No problems to report	No problems connecting. The desktop notes about how to reset the camera connection worked as advertised; had to reset at the start, and then once mid-way after an accidental double click sent an Abort. Image quality looked decent.
11/17/2023	Kurtis Williams	TAMUC	none	Andor	8	0	No problems to report	White dwarf time series photometry. Everything appears to be in good working order except web browsers are unable to reach any site, including internal CTIO pages. Are computer clocks able to sync with time servers? This is important to our observations.
