|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11/12/2025 | Gary Henson | ETSU | none | Spectrograph | 2 | 4 | Clouds | Testing function of spectrograph as prior observer reported issues. Computers had restarted (maybe power glitch during day), but restarting programs on telescope and camera computer and re-initializing settings for spectrograph found all working nominally. Opened dome with good break in the clouds to check operation on sky target and all worked fine. Did have clouds come back in for the rest of the night. |
11/09/2025 | Sasha Arbogast | Agnes Scott College | None | ACE Echelle Spectrograph | 6 | 0 | No problems to report | Had trouble seeing 8V star's spectral lines. No other issues. |
11/02/2025 | Gary Henson | ETSU | none | Spectrograph | 8 | 0 | No problems to report | Spectra of Massive Stars ; Did have to restart spectrograph cabinet and Telescope Outlets at start of night to open spectrograph GUI and connect to QHY guide camera. |
