A rather difficult night. We had some problems with software at the beginning of the night, and then some technical problem with the tracker.

But we could observe for the following programs:
2015-1-MLT-002 P0 RSS (Observations of supernovae, near and far.)
2015-2-SCI-018 P1 HRS (x2) (Evolved binaries in the Magellanic Clouds)
2015-2-SCI-036 P2 RSS (Spectrophotometry of Magellanic symbiotic stars)
