Summary
At sunset, the sky is clear, humidity is at 34%, wind at 6 m/s. Seeing is at ~1”. SHARK-NIR stars the night with their GTO program, then they give back the telescope to us at 04:44 UT and we continue with MODS1. At 07:15UT we reconfigure to SHARK-VIS for their GTO program. We switch back to MODS1 at 10:03UT.
