Service observing

During period 41 a total of 37 nights of service observing were done, excluding the 14 SOFIN nights done in service mode by Dr. Ilya Ilyin (Potsdam). Also, one night of a regular observing run was done in service mode because the observer could not make it in time to La Palma due to the problems caused by the volcanic ashes. The Nordic service nights consisted of various more or less isolated observing nights spread throughout the semester. In addition, also in this semester there was a large number of observations that were done by the staff for the ToO and monitoring programs during technical and Nordic service nights.
