=> Unstable dark time night. All night we observed with thin clouds and were closed by humidity for about three hours. Anyway, we observed eight blocks of different priorities.

2025-1-MLT-003 P1 HRS (Unraveling the enigmatic variability of AE Cir system with SALT)
2025-2-SCI-006 P2 HRS (Measuring Lithium abundances in UMa candidate stars)
2024-2-SCI-025 P2 HRS (Looking for proto hot Jupiters)
2024-2-LSP-001 P2 RSS (Followup of Transients)
