For 2/13- Observed the galaxy PKS 0405-123 while above 30 degrees using Bessel U, B, V, R, and I filters. Gathered about 50 images per filter. Didn't have a second target for the night, so closed up at midnight CT time

Connection Issues

Blazars and pretty pictures. Unable to get the VPN tunnel working. Will have a computer tech look at it tomorrow and see if we can get it fixed. I have new computers running windows 11 recently installed.

Clouds

Short period variable star program. Clouds started to roll in at the latter half of the night. Guide camera is still non-functional, and I did not investigate to see if I could restart the camera.

Equipment Failure

Short period variable star program. No issues were seen over the course of the night that prevented observing. The guide camera is still non-functional. I did not try to investigate rebooting the guide camera (QSI?). But it would be very nice to have a functioning guide camera. Connection at the beginning of the night to the telescope control camera was very slow. It improved later in the night.

Gathered V band photometry of ZTF J0328-1219 and WD 1150-153. Astrophotography imaging of the Rosette Nebula and a NGC galaxy was also gathered during the night.

Clouds

Plan was to preform optical photometry of ZTF J0328-1219 while above 30 degrees at the beginning of the night. Clouds were above 30 percent until at least 4 am local, so put the night down as lost.

Had issues with both the telescope and camera computers being slow to respond and timing out. Seemed to not be an issue for a few months, but is back :(

Supplimentary report. About two hours before sunrise, a bright whispy illumination pattern appeared in the images. Near the end of the night a circular shadow appeared in the images. I left an example of the pattern on the camera computer.
