Calibrations were done following ALFOSC coockbook for the 0.5" slit.
The observing block prepared by the PI of 70-205 was completed, without changing the slit size (0.5").
Despite bad seeing conditions (~3 arcsec), the SN was clearly seen. |

SN2024abfo could not be observed due to clouds. SN2024aecx observed with sub-arcsecond seeing.
For future triggers, please submit different transients as different groups - OB generator help states: A Group consists of all observations which _need_ to be executed in a single night (e.g., an object and a standard star). |
