Summary

The night started of with good weather, we observed a target of opportunity and a few low priority targets. Ridge cloud and humidity forced us to close early.

Science data taken for:
2018-1-MLT-014 P1 RSS (Probing the optical counterparts of high energy sources)
2018-1-MLT-006 P2 RSS (Observations of supernovae, near and far. @_sublunar_)
2018-2-SCI-006 P3 HRS (Measuring the interstellar abundance of lithium in the Large Magellanic Cloud)
2018-1-MLT-008 P3 RSS (Central stars of mid-infrared nebulae discovered with Spitzer and WISE)

We started off the night with some Fabry-Perot observations and a couple of other high priority targets. There were large variations in the seeing as the night progressed and high humidity caused us to close early.

2018-1-MLT-007 P1 HRS (Physical parameters determination for a Cepheid in an eclipsing binary system.)
2018-2-SCI-032 P1 RSS (Tracing star formation in El Gordo)
2018-2-MLT-004 P3 HRS (x2) (Spectroscopic investigations of Cepheids and stars belonging to Galactic open clusters)
2018-2-SCI-017 P3 RSS (Characterising pulsating stars @dlhwp)
2018-2-SCI-007 P3 HRS (Metal-Poor Subdwarfs for Stellar Modeling Calibration)
2018-2-SCI-025 P3 HRS (A homogeneous sample of RR Lyrae)
