Night Log 2022-04-30
SA: Encarni
SO: Xola
Others: Bryne to help with HRS

Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dark clear night with good seeing. Had some problems with our guidance system, but otherwise a productive night!
Science data taken for:
2018-1-SCI-012 P0 HRS (Studying the spectral evolution of a blended gravitational microlensing event in the Milky Way)
2021-1-MLT-007 P0 RSS (Observations of supernovae, near and far. @_sublunar_)
2021-2-SCI-012 P1 RSS (Study of the galaxies that produces strong MgII absorption in the spectra of the background quasars)
2021-2-SCI-025 P1 RSS (Measuring the Properties of a Metal-Poor O Star)
2021-2-MLT-005 P1 HRS (x2) (Monitoring the activity of Be/X-ray binaries in the southern hemisphere)
2020-1-MLT-002 P1 RSS (HRS study of long-period eclipsing binaries)
2021-2-SCI-023 P2 RSS (Archaeology of NGC 247 with discrete tracers)
2021-2-SCI-026 P2 RSS (x2) (Revealing Physical Properties of Emission-Line Galaxies at z<0.4 )
2021-2-SCI-027 P2 RSS (Characterizing stars that host a wide brown dwarf companion.)
2020-1-MLT-008 P3 RSS (x2) (Obtaining redshifts for G4Jy sources - the brightest radio galaxies in the southern sky)
2021-2-SCI-028 P3 HRS (Abundance of Type II Cepheids)
2019-1-MLT-008 P3 HRS (HRS monitoring of yellow symbiotic systems)
