SA: Moses
SO: Thea
Others: Keith, E10

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

Poor seeing and transparency meant that we only managed to observe one science block after some engineering tests. The night was then cut short by high humidity.

Science data taken for:
2020-2-MLT-003 P2 HRS (Follow-up of rare SB4 discovered in Gaia-ESO, GALAH and APOGEE)

Science data taken for:
2019-1-MLT-008 P1 HRS (HRS monitoring of yellow symbiotic systems)
2021-2-SCI-022 P1 HRS (x2) (RV Follow-up of TESS Full Frame Image Planet Candidate Orbiting A Red Giant Star)

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

We observed for most of this clear dark night, completing 10 blocks mostly of high priority. High humidity forced us to close an hour early.

2019-1-MLT-008 P1 HRS (x2) (HRS monitoring of yellow symbiotic systems)
2021-2-LSP-001 P2 HRS (Followup of Transients)
2021-1-SCI-008 P2 HRS (x2) (Study of RV Tauri stars without a circumbinary disc.)
2020-1-MLT-008 P2 RSS (Obtaining redshifts for G4Jy sources - the brightest radio galaxies in the southern sky)
2021-2-SCI-014 P2 RSS (Tracing the chemical and kinematic signatures of interactions in the MCs using RGB stars)
2020-2-MLT-003 P2 HRS (Follow-up of rare SB4 discovered in Gaia-ESO, GALAH and APOGEE)
