70-503 2024-10-14 00:00 SoftToO No observations due to bad weather Failed
70-503 2024-10-18 02:28 SoftToO BD174708, SN2024vjc, SN2024xmg,
SN2024wwd
ALHj180145 - ALHj180149; ALHj180161 - ALHj180170 ; ALHj180183 - ALHj180187 Target observed with clear skies and variable seeing. Observed
70-503 2024-10-19 00:24 SoftToO BD174708, SN2024wye ALHj190076 - ALHj190088 Targets observed with some thin clouds and seeing around 1 arcsec. Observed
70-503 2024-10-26 00:47 SoftToO SN2024hpj, BD174708, SN2024uea ALHj260148 - ALHj260154, ALHj260162 - ALHj260166, ALHj260173 - ALHj260177 Difficult night, only 2 targets have been successfully observed in thin clouds and high seeing. Observed
70-503 2024-10-27 00:00 SoftToO No observations could be taken due to bad weather. Failed
70-503 2024-10-30 00:51 SoftToO SN2024uea, SN2024xdq, BD174708 ALHj300068 - ALHj300072, ALHj300099 - ALHj300104, ALHj300140 - ALHj300144 The targets were observed when seeing was = 1.0''. The standard star is not taken into account in the time spent because at least two programs whose targets were observed tonight with the same setup can use the same files. Observed
70-503 2024-10-31 01:39 SoftToO BD174708, 2017hcc, AT2023nzt, SN2024zmm ALHj310145 - ALHj310153, ALHj310229 - ALHj310258, ALHj310279 - ALHj310283 All the targets were observed during sub-arcsecond seeing. The standard star observation is not included in the time spent because other programs need the calibration files as their setups were similar. Observed
70-503 2024-11-03 01:29 SoftToO BD174708, SN2024xmg, SN2024zmm ALHk030083 - ALHk030087, ALHk030095 - ALHk030104 Thin clouds and seeing around 1.0''. For SN2024zmm clouds got thicker as the observation progressed, so the quality of the data is possibly compromised. Observed
70-503 2024-11-06 01:31 SoftToO SN2024uea, HD19445, SN2024zmm, SN2024gzk ALHk060047 - ALHk060077 All of the targets were observed during a cloudy sky. Files ALHk060066 - ALHk060070 are most likely redundant as this observation was halted due to thickening clouds. This observation and the first standard star attempt are not included in time spent. Observed
70-503 2024-11-07 00:00 SoftToO SN2024uea, HD19445 ALHk070025 - ALHk070029 Standard star was observed but none of the science targets were observed due to clouds. Since there are no successful science observations, the standard star is not included in the time spent. Observed
70-503 2024-11-09 02:02 SoftToO SN2024uea, SN2024wwd, HD19445, SN2024gzk ALHk090104 - ALHk090109; ALHk090120 - ALHk090129; ALHk090187 - ALHk090192 Targets observed in the beginning of the night with thin clouds and then clear skies for the final part of the night (SN2024gzk), and seeing around 1 arcsecond. Observed
70-503 2024-11-10 00:46 SoftToO SN2024uea, HD19445 ALHk100200 - ALHk100204 ; ALHk100214 - ALHk100218 Observed with clear, dusty skies and seeing of around 1 arcsec. Observed
70-503 2024-11-13 00:38 SoftToO SN2024hpj, HD19445 ALHk130068 - ALHk130076, ALHk130114 - ALHk130118 Standard and 2024hpj were observed in clear skies with seeing around 1.0" Arp299 could not be observed due to high humidity Observed
70-503 2024-11-18 00:00 SoftToO No observations could be done due to bad weather Failed
70-503 2024-11-19 00:24 SoftToO SN2024uea ALHk190087 - ALHk190093 1 target was observed in thin clouds with seeing around 1.7" Observed
70-503 2024-11-24 01:33 SoftToO SN2024uea, HD19445, SN2024dy ALHk240057 - ALHk240068; ALHk240112 - ALHk240116 First observation went smoothly with seeing around 1.4", and the standard stars at both slits were observed. However, due to high humidity, the last observation could not be completed. The observation comprises only of half the exposure time. Standard stars will not count in time spent because other programs will use them too. Observed
70-503 2024-11-27 00:37 SoftToO SN2024abvb, HD19445, SN2024dy ALHk270233 - ALHk270237, ALHk270246 - ALHk270250 Observed in cloudy / dusty skies with high seeing Not all targets could be observed Observed
70-503 2024-11-28 00:49 SoftToO HD19445, SN2024dy ALHk280086 - ALHk280095, ALHk280148 - ALHk280152 1 target was observed in thin clouds with seeing around 1.6" Other targets could not be observed due to the bad weather conditions Observed
70-503 2024-12-02 00:39 ToO SN2024abvb, HD19445 ALHl020111 - ALHl020115; ALHl020122 - ALHl020126 First target was observed in clear skies according to the requirements. The standard star data was shared with other proposals. The final target observation had to be aborted due to bad seeing. Observed
70-503 2024-12-03 00:53 SoftToO SN2024abup, SN2024uea, HD19445 ALHl030152 - ALHl030156,ALHl030281 - ALHl030284 Targets observed with seeing 2-3 arcsec Observed
70-503 2024-12-06 00:37 SoftToO sn2024abfl, BD332642 ALHl060019 - ALHl060023; ALHl060032 - ALHl060036 The first target was observed according to the requirements. Conditions were volatile throughout the night and we didn't manage to observe the standard star, so we imaged another one when we could that we have shared, with approximately the same airmass and setup conditions as your required standard star. We are charging the full time for the standard star observation as it is only for your proposal, and is less time than the one you requested. Observed
70-503 2024-12-07 00:51 SoftToO SP1045+378, Arp299 ALHl070344 - ALHl070350,ALHl070351 - ALHl070355 Clear skies, sub-arcsec seeing. Shared standard from 68-501 Observed

70-503 2024-12-29 00:48 SoftToO SN2024gzk ALHl290215 - ALHl290220 Observed
70-503 2025-01-01 00:00 SoftToO SN2024xdq ALIa010064 - ALIa010071 Tried this super nova multiple times, but due to clouds thickening every time we set it as failed. Files ALIa010067 - ALIa010071 is a full run of the OB, but again the data is probably not very good. Failed

Variable seeing between 1.2" - 2.0", clear skies data shared with proposal 68-501 Observed
70-503 2025-01-30 00:27 ToO SN2024acyl, SN2024dy ALIa300061 - ALIa300064;ALIa300138 - ALIa300141 Very high winds coming from the SE quadrant throughout the night, so had to wait for the targets to be outside of this range. The 2024agfq target was attempted multiple times, but the seeing got progressively worse throughout the night, so by the time it had moved out of the wind range, the seeing was between 1.5" and 2.0". Observed
70-503 2025-01-31 00:00 SoftToO SN2024agfq ALIa310101 - ALIa310104 Setting SN2024agfq photometry as failed as the seeing requirements were not met. Nonetheless, you can take a look at the produced files. Due to the seeing conditions, we were also unable to do the spectroscopy afterwards. Failed

The rest of the targets observed according to instructions. Seeing varied throughout the night dropping to 0.8 at the lowest. Sky was mostly clear during the night. Observed
70-503 2025-02-03 01:14 SoftToO sn2024abfl, SN2024agls, Feige34 ALIb030171 - ALIb030175, ALIb030200 - ALIb030211, ALIb030237 - ALIb030241 Observed soft ToO program without any issues. Observed

Partial cloud coverage during the night thin and at times thick clouds. An exposure of sn2024abfl was readout early due to thick clouds covering the target area. Failed observation not counted for time, files still accessible. Observed

Two standard observations are redundant as the associated targets were missed. No time loss marked for these. First attempt of 2024acyl cancelled due to high wind from target's direction. A technical error forced termination of the first OB of SN2024agls during the first i-band exposure. The OB was restarted and the exposures, which had already been completed successfully were read out early. Please note the exposure times of the science files to determine the successful sequences. Observed
70-503 2025-02-16 01:50 SoftToO SN2024uea, Hilt600, SN2024agls,

ALIb160058 - ALIb160063, ALIb160110 - ALIb160131 All targets observed with clear skies and seeing oscillating between 0.7" and 1.0". Morning flats in the g', i or i' bands should be used instead of the evening ones, as due to a technical error they were taken too late. Observed
70-503 2025-02-18 00:50 SoftToO SN2024advj, Hilt600 ALIb180124 - ALIb180128, ALIb180294 - ALIb180298 Observed with clear skies and variable seeing. Strong gusts of wind throughout, so lower hatch remained closed for most of the observation. Observed
