2019-1-MLT-008 P1 HRS (HRS monitoring of yellow symbiotic systems)
2021-2-SCI-022 P1 HRS (x2) (RV Follow-up of TESS Full Frame Image Planet Candidate Orbiting A Red Giant Star)
2021-2-SCI-019 P2 RSS (Verification of the nature of variable central stars of PNe in the LMC)
2021-1-MLT-007 P2 RSS (Observations of supernovae, near and far. @_sublunar_)
2021-1-SCI-022 P2 HRS (Study of the properties of an extreme-amplitude heartbeat star.)
2020-2-MLT-003 P2 HRS (Follow-up of rare SB4 discovered in Gaia-ESO, GALAH and APOGEE)

Night Log 2021-11-30
SA: Rosalind
SO: Xola
Others: Paul, Timmy for BMS and TimDimm, Richard
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We observed for most of this clear dark night, completing 10 blocks mostly of high priority. High humidity forced us to close an hour early.
Science data taken for:
2021-2-MLT-001 P1 RSS (Unravelling the gas and stellar kinematics of nearby starbursts and LIRGs)
2019-1-MLT-008 P1 HRS (x2) (HRS monitoring of yellow symbiotic systems)
2021-2-LSP-001 P2 HRS (Followup of Transients)
2021-1-SCI-008 P2 HRS (x2) (Study of RV Tauri stars without a circumbinary disc.)
2020-1-MLT-008 P2 RSS (Obtaining redshifts for G4Jy sources - the brightest radio galaxies in the southern sky)
2021-2-SCI-014 P2 RSS (Tracing the chemical and kinematic signatures of interactions in the MCs using RGB stars)
2020-2-MLT-003 P2 HRS (Follow-up of rare SB4 discovered in Gaia-ESO, GALAH and APOGEE)
2021-1-MLT-005 P3 RSS (Tracing the history of extreme helium stars)
