Weather is too bad to observe. It will improve during the night.

Nov 6th, Wednesday

2:00UT Alexandre and Florian K. We start by doing a skydip. Weather is good enough to start doing projects so we perform all the necessary pointing/focus observations and start project 091-19. We then move to project 028-19.

5:00UT Florian R & Tony take over. Everything went smoothly after 2am --> quite stable opacity until 9:00UT. We continued 028-19, then switched to 091-19, and then to 092-19. At some point the source in 092-19 went over 80 deg so we switched to 199-16. The opacity started to increase around 12:00UT and the beam shape got worst (afternoon).
