A-Team Schedule

Team members can show up on any night, but please inform the scheduled observers if you do, and give first dibs to the scheduled observers in running the telescope and computer. If you are scheduled and can't make it, please let everyone know.

On weather results, Clear means that weather was not a factor in imaging everything you planned, Partially Cloudy means that clouds covered some targets, but some were imaged through holes or gaps, and Cloudy means that nothing could be done because of clouds.

Note that dates below are CST/CDT start dates, not UT dates. File names and designations (which are UT date encoded) will be one day higher.
