Summary

- a clear night with relatively high humidity. the seeing was bad for the first half or so of the night which made some observations difficult.

- we obtained data for the following programs:
- 2013-2-RSA_OTH-003 (spectroscopy of candidate Luminous Blue Variable (cLBV) stars) x3 P2
- 2014-1-RSA-003 (spectroscopy of ultracool dwarfs stars and brown dwarfs) x2 P3
- 2013-2-RSA-003 (long slit spectroscopy of a gamma-ray binary system) P1
- 2013-2-GU-001 (studying the continuum and emission-line profile variations in a Seyfert I galaxy) P1
- 2013-2-DC_RSA-001 (a Target of Opportunity (ToO) observation of a supernova) P0
- 2013-2-RSA_OTH_UKSC-003 (monitoring the H-alpha emission line of a Be/X-ray binary) P4
