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

We were limited to mid-to-low priority blocks tonight due to largely poor and variable seeing. High humidity eventually closed us for a few hours, during which we did some engineering tests. A few gremlins in the system only ended up costing us a small amount of technical downtime.

Science data taken for:
2024-1-COM-002 P0 RSS (x2) (This is a commissioning proposal)
2024-1-SCI-042 P2 RSS (SALT Spectra of Transients)
2024-1-MLT-006 P2 HRS (Monitor the spectral emission lines of these Be binaries.)
2024-1-MLT-003 P2 RSS (x2) (Observations of supernovae, near and far. @_sublunar_)
2023-2-LSP-001 P3 RSS (x2) (Spectra of ultrashort period main sequence binary stars)
2024-1-MLT-010 P4 HRS (Stellar Characterisation of Ariel mission targets: derivation of N and O abundances)
