Date	Name	Affiliation	Other Observers	Instrument	Hours Observed	Hours Lost	Reason	Observing Program
09/01/2021	XIANMING HAN	Butler Univ	none	CCD	5	5	Clouds	eclipsing binary
09/29/2021	Walter Van Hamme	FIU	Samec	24" scope, CCD	0	11	Clouds	Observations and analysis of eclipsing binaries.
09/28/2021	Walter Van Hamme	fiu	samec	24", CCD	10	0	Clouds	Light curve observations and analysis of GSC75170134. I complete curve single coverage.
09/27/2021	Todd Hillwig	Valparaiso University	None	Andor CCD	6	0	No problems to report	PN central stars.
09/26/2021	Keefe Kamp	FIT	Gokuldass	CCD	6	4	Software/Control PC Issues	B star observations with CCD. Data stopped being saved properly because the disk became full.
09/25/2021	Paulina Karczmarek	Universidad de Concepción	none	Andor CCD	10	0.5	Software/Control PC Issues	"Classical Cepheids in the SDSS photometric system". The directory with data is virtually full, and that means that new exposures are not being saved, instead a 1KB file is created with no content. Deletion of a directory with our previously collected data solved the problem for now.
09/22/2021	Judi Provencal	University of Delaware/MCAO	none	Andor	5	0	No problems to report	Imaging for observational astronomy class
09/21/2021	Tom Rutherford	ETSU	None	CCD	6	0	No problems to report	Asteroid. No issues at all.
07/20/2021	Paulina Karczmarek	Universidad de Concepción	Gergely Hajdu	Andor CCD	10	0	Clouds	"Classical Cepheids in the SDSS photometric system", thin clouds the whole night.
08/25/2021	Paulina Karczmarek	Universidad de Concepción	none	Andor CCD	10.5	0	No problems to report	"Classical Cepheids in the SDSS photometric system"
09/17/2021	Paulina Karczmarek	Universidad de Concepcion	none	Andor CCD	5.5	4.5	Clouds	"Classical Cepheids in the SDSS photometric system", clouds starting the middle of the night prevented further observations.
09/14/2021	Todd Hillwig	Valparaiso University	None	Andor CCD	6	0	No problems to report	PN central stars
09/13/2021	Todd Hillwig	Valparaiso University	None	Andor CCD	6	0	No problems to report	central stars of planetary nebulae.
09/12/2021	Michael Fauerbach	FGCU	NA	CCD	10.5	0	No problems to report	Asteroid photometry. Some thin clouds, else no issues.
09/11/2021	Martha Leake	Valdosta State University	Logan Spooner and Cera Purdy	ARC camera	1	8	Humidity	Asteroid photometry and other objects for Freshman Research Experience. Never opened. Clouds and high humidity issues early on; humidity predicted to persist until morning twilight. CTIO weather page and Clear Outside data mostly agreed: fog, possible snow and frost, humidity over 75% to 90%. Took just biases and darks.
