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


The night started with very strong wind (around 60 km/h).
Weather was cooperative this time, and we could obtain data.
We observed, among other things, an asteroid classified as Near-Earth Object recently discovered.

But unfortunately, a technical problem had us closed towards the end of the night. We took advantage of the telescope being closed to perform more tests for the mirror.

We could gather data for :
2014-2-SCI-064 P0 RSS (x2) (Rapid response spectroscopy of newly discovered Near Earth Asteroids.)
2014-2-SCI-060 P3 RSS (Searching for binaries in unusual central stars of planetary nebulae)
2014-2-SCI-073 P3 RSS (Monitoring of the SMC LBV S18)
2014-2-MLT-003 P4 RSS (Study, and detailed classification, of a number of proposed very cool astronomical objects)

We started by continuing the tests we did yesterday.
And then, weather caught us, and forced us to close.
No data taken tonight.

Trouble free night.
We started with some tests for the system that will keep the shape of the mirror throughout the night.
Then we could do some science observations, but towards the end of the night, we had to close because of the rising humidity.

Data taken for :
2014-2-SCI-060 P3 RSS (Searching for binaries in unusual central stars of planetary nebulae)
2014-2-MLT-003 P4 RSS (Study, and detailed classification, of a number of proposed very cool astronomical objects)
