Looked at a pulsating helium atmosphere white dwarf for an hour before running into the telescope limits. Bad time of year for the targets we could think up. Much better VNC connection tonight than last!

Connection Issues
Issues with VNC viewer being very slow and having to reconnect often on the telescope computer. Other than that fine night! We just did a bad job finding targets within CTIO limits.

Software/Control PC Issues
Sometimes, the fits files won't show up in the folder. This is not regular. For example, if I set up 10 exposures, I will end up with only 9 fits files in the CAM folder.

AGN photometry. No technical problems. Telescope points 1-2 arcminutes north of target after slewing. Increasing clouds curtailed observations.

Went fine. Accidentally exposed to bright light because CT webcam image is not updating (some date in late November)

Pointing was off-- one target was missed by over three degrees, but other than that, everything worked well.
