SA: Antoine SO: Fred Others: Daniel and E10 for fire alarm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A few attempts were made, but we were defeated by clouds. We managed to observe only 4 blocks.

SA: Antoine SO: Fred Others: Deniel, E10 for BMS,SIBO and Anthony ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The weather kept us closed most of the night. But final we manager to observer 4 blocks. Science data taken for: 2025-2-MLT-012 P2 HRS (Search for binary stars which may form planetary nebulae.) 2024-2-MLT-001 P3 HRS (x2) (Spectroscopy of compact heirarchial triples) 2026-1-SCI-003 P3 HRS (The rapid stages of final stellar evolution caught in the act) ------------------------------------------------------------------------

SA: Lee SO: Veronica Others: Mahike, Lisa, Shan, Jake, Malcolm, Wimpie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We lost the first half of the night to stormy weather. Then only managed 2 blocks before humidity came and closed us for the rest of the night. Science data taken for: 2023-2-MLT-005 P4 RSS (x2) (Monitoring the activity of Be/X-ray binaries in the southern hemisphere) ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Night Log 2026-09-21

SA: Lee SO: Veronica Others: Mahike, Lisa, Malcolm, Jake, Shan, Shamiel, Dev ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We managed two more blocks tonight which would normally be disappointing, but with the recent weather it feels like a victory! A combination of cloud and humidity kept us closed most of the night, and some mirror issues meant we failed to make the most of the gaps in the weather. Good progress was made with the laser comb commissioning during the bad weather. Science data taken for: 2025-2-LSP-001 P3 HRS (Defining a new chemically peculiar star catalogue) 2024-2-MLT-001 P3 HRS (Spectroscopy of compact heirarchial triples) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
