• seeing 1" and cirrus at 03:36
• note: we started a bit earlier than planned, thus in the first ~5-10 min (less than 1 exposure) the blue spectra is not in the 1.5" slit
• seeing 1.1" and cirrus at 03:49

• lost 2 min because wrong NIMGS parameter in the script. MaX is 99!!. Changed that, now it goes
• start exposing at 06:23*
• seeing 1.1" at 06:40
• seeing 1.0" at 07:13, thin cirrus
• seeing 0.9" at 07:13
• cloud at 09:30, >1mag extinction on guider, still guiding well
• seeing 0.9" at 09:48, clear again
• 9:35 MODS2 stack, 9:54 we can restart MODS2
• 10-10:30 UT 30 min with 0.5 mag extinction
• seeing 0.9" at 10:33, other bunch of clouds at the horizon
• they did not affect us so much
• 11:33 MODS error:images no displyed, we send red fitsflush
• 11:33 the loaded stuck at ima mods1r.0157
• 11:35 we start again the exposure, mods rstar to save the images, but we lost 2 images 158 and 159.
• 12:00 seeing fluctuations 1"-1.3"
• 12:36 seeing 0.6
• 12:39 sky gets bright we stop and prepare for calibrations
