Date	Name	Affiliation	Other Observers	Instrument	Hours Observed	Hours Lost	Reason	Observing Program
01/04/2022	Yong Sheng	Clemson University	Dieter Hartmann	CT griz	9	0	No problems to report	Clemson blazer redshift study. The night went well, no problem to report.
01/03/2022	William Keel	University of Alabama	2 cats	Andor CCD #2	8	0	No problems to report	Merging galaxies, Comet Leonard, 30 Dor, JWST. Focus 127200, gudie focus 0. After working fine for the last couple of weeks, solar-syste rates acted almost random near 0h, dec=0. Some exposures were at sidereal rates, others wandered in both coordinates. Focus changed a lot at end night; in some parts of the sky best images were still elongated E-W.
12/29/2021	Van Hamme, Walter	FIU	Samec	CCD	10	0	No problems to report	Observations of GSC 7093 0006 and 75170134.
12/30/2021	Van Hamme, Walter	FIU	Samec	CCD	10	0	No problems to report	Observations of GSC 7093 0006 and 75170134.
12/28/2021	William Keel	University of Alabama	3 cats	Andor CCD #2	8	0	No problems to report	Merging galaxies, 30 Dor, JWST, comet Leonard. The mirror acts a bit pinched - for the last couple of nights, when in sharpest focus, images are elongated E-W. Focus 127800, guide focus 0.
12/27/2021	William Keel	University of Alabama	3 cats	Andor CCD #2	8	0	No problems to report	Merging galaxies, 30 Dor, JWST
12/26/2021	William Keel	University of Alabama	1 cat	Andor CCD #2	0	8	Clouds	Cloudy
12/25/2021	William Keel	University of Alabama	2 cats	Andor CCD #2	3	0	No problems to report	Following JWST outbound.
12/23/2021	Yong Sheng	Clemson University	Dieter Hartmann	CT-griz	9	0	No problems to report	The night went smoothly, weather is good and no issue happens.
12/22/2021	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	4	0	No problems to report	Standard stars.
12/20/2021	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	7	0	No problems to report	Exoplanet.
11/28/2021	Van Hamme	FIU	Samec	CCD	9	0	No problems to report	Observing and analysis of Light Curves of GSC75170234.
12/14/2021	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	7	0	No problems to report	Exoplanet.
12/11/2021	Ross Silver	Clemson University	Scott, Dieter	CCD	9	0	No problems to report	Photometric redshift of blazars.
12/10/2021	William Keel	University of Alabama	3 cats	Andor CCD #2	8.5	0	No problems to report	30 Dor, merging galaxies. Focus 127000, guide focus 0. Seeing very poor at start of night, and focus shifted a lot later on.
