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

Another (almost) full night of observing. Good seeing at the start of the night allowed us to observe some high priority blocks. Rising humidity and bad seeing forced to observe lower priority blocks for the last part of the night. Some weather downtime due to the bad seeing conditions and technical downtime due to the fold mirror.

Science data taken for:
2025-2-GWE-001 P0 RSS (Follow-up of GW counterpart candidates)
2024-2-LSP-001 P1 HRS (x2) (Followup of Transients)
2025-1-MLT-004 P1 RSS (x2) (Near-UV and visible spectroscopy of the primitive asteroids)
2024-1-MLT-001 P2 RSS (Study of the outer parts of lenticular galaxies.)
