Connection Issues
Left early while files transferred. Exited at 9 am. Used Andor on Camera computer, Telescope for pointing, filters, and times; but trying to operate from the telescope computer resulted in error message (as before). Set up observing plan with Student's project, but all of the Objects selected were too far north. Observed Proxima Centauri first; amazing star field. Will set up, with student, several acceptable Exoplanets in southern sky. At least I was able to use radmin after VPN.

Artemis II at range 354,000 km. (I couldn't resist when Stefan Geier posted that the night was open). The biggest challenge was getting the track rates; its apparent acceleration was significant over 10m spans. (Well, that and the moonlight spillover). Focus 128400. Sign of dec rate is still reversed.
