------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A frustrating night with poor and variable seeing and high humidity. Some low priority blocks done before we closed due to weather.
On a good note: Stephen did a successful guider pre-positioning test during twilight.
Science data taken for:
2018-2-LSP-001 P3 HRS (Observing optical counterparts of transient objects)
2020-1-SCI-023 P3 HRS (x2) (Probing the binarity of a sample of galactic proto-planetary nebulae)
2020-1-MLT-002 P4 HRS (HRS study of long-period eclipsing binaries)
2019-2-SCI-006 P4 HRS (Investigating the multiplicity of WR stars)
2020-1-MLT-003 P4 HRS (Spectroscopic observations of central stars of mid-infrared nebulae)

Summary

We had really good seeing tonight, we even saw the guiders measure below 1" a few times! Some cirrus for most of the night though, although the clouds weren't too thick and it cleared towards the end of the night.
Science data taken for:
2019-2-SCI-027 P1 RSS (Searching for multiple supermassive black holes in a single galaxy)
2019-1-LSP-001 P1 RSS (x3) (Tracing the evolution of the most massive galaxies in the universe)
2018-1-MLT-005 P1 HRS (HRS observations of symbiotic stars)
2019-1-MLT-008 P2 HRS (HRS monitoring of yellow symbiotic systems)
2018-2-MLT-005 P3 RSS (Probing the winds from massive binary star supernova progenitors)
2020-1-SCI-038 P3 RSS (Rutgers TAC discretionary time)
2019-2-SCI-049 P4 HRS (x2) (Following the time evolution of polluted white dwarfs.)
2020-1-SCI-014 P4 HRS (x2) (Searching for new chemically peculiar stars in the southern hemisphere.)
2020-1-SCI-023 P4 HRS (x2) (Probing the binarity of a sample of galactic proto-planetary nebulae)
