| | === SSP Time frame June 25th through July === |
| | ^ Date ^ Observer ^ Notes ^ Other ^ |
| | | 6-25-2024 | SSP TA (Zach in the background) | Cloudy / Lightening - Didn't open / no AAVSO | SSP calibration files | |
| | | 6-26-2024 | SSP TA (Zach in the background) | Cloudy / Lightening - Didn't open / no AAVSO| SSP calibration files | |
| | | 6-27-2024 | SSP TA (Zach in the background) | Cloudy / Lightening - Didn't open / no AAVSO | SSP calibration files | |
| | | 6-26-2024 | SSP TA (Zach in the background) | Cloudy / Lightening - Didn't open / no AAVSO | An error popped up that Zach had never seen before. When students were taking images with the camera, an error "No memory available on system". Despite TMO's computer still having ~350 GB of storage left. Zach restarted all the applications and this seemed to fix the issue. ACP in the past has seemed to have memory leakage issues if not restarted regularly. I suspect this might have been the case for tonight's issue. | |

| | | 6-17-2024 | Zach | Perfect! Ran without any critical issues! | "Trailing" at >60 second exposures? Weather station said it was 'cloudy' despite being clear | |
| | | 6-18-2024 DAYTIME | Zach | Weather station against building, readjusted weather station | | |
| | | 6-18-2024 | Zach | Started it, after flats the weather station prompted "unknown" and thus triggered the unsafe weather station. About 5 mins later the weather station started reading 'clear' again (swapping between cloudy and clear). Zach was tired and just closed it down. This morning it seemed to read "clear." Checking the clarity logs, it looks like wind got up there in various part of the night. In the past, it seems like "unknown conditions" is triggered when the weather is at an extreme. | | |
