Summary
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Yet another lovely photometric night with an extremely well behaved telescope :) Amazing range of seeing conditions, from a superb 0.8" up to an awful 3.5" & just about everything in between...

Data taken for:

* 2013-2-RU-001 (supernova follow-up observations which will trigger HST observations of this object), P0

* 2013-2-RSA-005 (radial velocity monitoring of Wolf-Rayet nuclei of planetary nebulae), P1

* 2013-2-RSA_DC_OTH-001 (reverberation mapping to determine the size of a super-massive black hole at the centre of an active galaxy), P2

* 2013-2-RSA_OTH-003 (spectroscopic confirmation of candidate luminous blue variable stars), P2

* 2013-2-RSA-005 (radial velocity monitoring of Wolf-Rayet nuclei of planetary nebulae), P3

* 2013-2-AMNH-002 (candidate young stellar object), P4

Also took images of some beautiful objects while the seeing & stack were really good & the queue was sparse. Stay tuned for colour images of a supernova remnant, a planetary nebula & a globular cluster!
