Night Log 2021-01-09

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

A super frustrating night with several tracker failures and the auto-collimator failing to engage on almost every pointing. We lost some observations to bad seeing and, finally, high humidity. We even had a slit-mask jam at just the wrong time, as we tried rapid follow-up of a ZTF alert. We were not able to fully take advantage of the excellent 0.8" seeing at the end of the night, due to the tracker.

Science data taken for:
2020-1-MLT-005 P1 RSS (Study of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas in moderately inclined galaxies.)
2020-1-MLT-006 P1 RSS (Measuring the halos of super spirals)
2018-2-LSP-001 P2 RSS (Observing optical counterparts of transient objects)
2020-2-SCI-040 P2 RSS (Redshift measurements of BL Lacs for the CTA project)
2020-2-MLT-003 P3 HRS (Follow-up of rare SB4 discovered in Gaia-ESO, GALAH and APOGEE)
