Date	Name	Affiliation	Other Observers	Instrument	Hours Observed	Hours Lost	Reason	Observing Program
04/08/2023	Priya Gokuldass	Florida Tech	None	CCD	6	0	No problems to report	ulGRB host galaxy observations
04/07/2023	Gary Henson	ETSU	none	Spectrograph	9.5	0	No problems to report	Spectroscopy of Massive (WR) stars
03/29/2023	Michael Fauerbach	FGCU	NA	CCD	10	0	No problems to report	no problems, good night
04/05/2023	Berrington	Ball State University	none	arc	8	0	No problems to report	short period variable stars, no issues with the telescope.
04/03/2023	GARY HENSON	ETSU	none	Spectrograph	9	0	No problems to report	Spectroscopy of Massive (WR) Stars, Some cirrus clouds limiting Flux, but took time to tweak Guider settings and now dialed in!
04/02/2023	Gary Henson	ETSU	none	Spectrograph	9	0	No problems to report	Massive Star, WR star spectroscopy, Did have issue of autoguider oscillation, might be cycling too fast with too short of exposure.
04/02/2023	Berrington	Ball State University	none	arc	8	0	No problems to report	no problems.
03/30/2023	Amy Lovell	Agnes Scott	AST200L students	CCD	7	0	No problems to report	student projects for intermediate lab
03/28/2023	Gary Henson	ETSU	none	Spectrograph	9	0	No problems to report	Spectroscopy of Massive Stars (WR Stars). All worked fine, did have a few connection dropouts to the Spectrograph computer, but Maxim stayed running until logged back in so no disruptions.
03/28/2023	Tomomi Otani	ERAU	Julia Clark, Lindsay Spence	CCD	9	1	Connection Issues	Hot subdwarf stars photometry time series. We could not use the telescope during the first hour because of losing connections. After we build the connection back, we did a little experiment and found out that if more than two devices connect to the telescope, the telescope operating PC does not work.
03/22/2023	Kurtis Williams	TAMUC	none	Andor	10.5	0	No problems to report	White dwarf time series photometry. Clear night; seeing 1.8" once telescope thermalized. Ambient T=14 C, focus 129000. No issues at all; tracking with guider camera excellent.
03/18/2023	Michael Fauerbach	FGCU	NA	CCD	10	0	No problems to report	As reported before the Dec pointing is off, object still in frame, but not centered.
03/17/2023	Martha Leake	Valdosta. State University	none	Andor	10.5	0	No problems to report	Productive night for asteroid photometry (two asteroids and other objects), thanks to Ken! Object requested appears south (by 3') of center. All else worked well. My mouse caught an edge which degraded the image I saw (not the original). Date above should be March 17, 2023.
03/12/2023	Robert Berrington	Ball State Univeristy	none	arc	8	0	Connection Issues	Guide camera continues to not function correctly preventing proper guiding of the telescope.
03/11/2023	Robert Berrington	Ball State University	none	arc	8	0	Connection Issues	Guide camera no is not even taking pictures for the guide camera to start. So guiding is not possible.
