Date | Name | Affiliation | Other Observers | Instrument | Hours Observed | Hours Lost | Reason | Observing Program |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12/03/2021 | Nuria Torres-Albà | Clemson University | Scott, Dieter | SARA CT | 7 | 0 | No problems to report | Clemson University observations of high-z blazars
No problems to report |
12/02/2021 | William Keel | University of Alabama | AY203 coass | Andor CCD #2 | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | Galaxies and H II regions. Focus 127200, guider focus 0. |
11/29/2021 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | Gary Henson | CCD | 6 | 0 | No problems to report | Asteroid light curve. |
11/27/2021 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 7 | 0 | No problems to report | Exoplanet transit. |
11/26/2021 | Todd Hillwig | Valparaiso University | None. | Andor CCD | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | PN central star monitoring. |
11/23/2021 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 6 | 0 | No problems to report | Standard Stars. |
11/20/2021 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | Exoplanet. No issues. |
11/22/2021 | Priya Gokuldass | Florida Tech | Kamp | ccd | 2 | 8 | Clouds | TESS follow up observations. No new issues to report. |
11/21/2021 | Paulina Karczmarek | Universidad de Concepcion | None | Andor CCD | 9 | 0 | No problems to report | Observing program: absolute photometry in Sloan bands for local comparison stars of bright variables (Cepheids, RR Lyrae). |
11/18/2021 | Ross Silver | Clemson University | Dieter, Yong, Isaiah | CCD | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | Obtaining photometric redshift of blazars. |
11/15/2021 | Paulina Karczmarek | Universidad de Concepción | None | Andor CCD | 8 | 0 | Equipment Failure | Observing program: absolute photometry in Sloan bands for local comparison stars of bright variables (Cepheids, RR Lyrae). Dropout shutter would not open entirely and indicated "opening" all the time. I don't know if this is a software problem or actual problem with the shutter engine. |
11/17/2021 | Tom Rutherford | ETSU | None | CCD | 7 | 0.5 | Software/Control PC Issues | Asteroid Photometry. Lower shutter gave no indication that it was open so I kept it closed (which meant that I could not reach one of my low targets). Could not access the telescope computer when I first logged in, but cycling the APC power rack brought it back up. All worked fine after that. |
11/16/2021 | Albert, Icarus | Agnes Scott College | none | n/a | 0 | 6 | Connection Issues | Could not connect to telescope camera |
10/30/2021 | Albert, Icarus | Agnes Scott College | Emmett Dalton | Bessel IRVB filters | 6 | 0 | No problems to report | data collection |
11/13/2021 | Gillam | ERAU | Lilyanne Pepe, Aakash Thiyagarajan | Andor Camera | 11 | 0 | Equipment Failure | telescope control system indicated the dropout door hadn't opened all the way. We operated with that door closed.
