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

A rather busy and exciting night of observations. We managed to observe a DDT block as well as do some Slitmask IFU engineering tests. First (star) light through the new IFU was very exciting. Well done team! Minimal tech downtime and a little cloud cover spoiled an almost perfect night.

Science data taken for:
2023-2-DDT-004 P0 HRS (HRS monitoring of a Be star in a high-mass binary)
2020-1-MLT-008 P1 RSS (Obtaining redshifts for G4Jy sources - the brightest radio galaxies in the southern sky)
2023-2-COM-001 P1 HRS (x2) (HS pipeline observations @dlhwp)
