Afternoon instructions

Run afternoon calibrations: fies-calibs -fib 4

Observing instructions

On the Queue page, make sure the OB-generated observing script is written to disk, or else 'compile'
Go to directory: cd ~/obs/scripts/69-501/ and do ls -lrt

69-501	2024-04-01	01:01	Mon	kic9153621	FIHd010109 - FIHd010111	Target observed successfully with clear skies. We had to CTRL-C the program during acquisition multiple times because the telescope for unknown reasons moved to the wrong star when placing the target on the fiber. Hence the many entries below!	Observed
69-501	2024-04-02	01:06	Mon	kic4663623	FIHd020141 - FIHd020143	Clear skies, subarcsec seeing. The program had been marked as failed during the afternoon, however there was no problem observing it during the night	Observed
69-501	2024-04-05	00:00	Mon	-	-	The monitoring target was missed due to bad weather	Failed
69-501	2024-04-12	01:03	Mon	kic5786154	FIHd120112 - FIHd120114	There was calima, but the sky was clear. The seeing was around 2 arcsec. First try had an error during the EasyThAr part, but as it was the first thing that happened during the OB (after guiding and acquisition) we just restarted the OB and everything went smooth from there.	Observed
69-501	2024-04-14	02:03	Mon	epic248847494, kic4663623	FIHd140033 - FIHd140038	These were the only FIES targets of the night. Observed without difficulties.	Observed
69-501	2024-04-20	00:30	Mon	kic5786154	FIHd200080 - FIHd200082	Setting the observation as failed as it had to be stopped halfway because the telescope was shut down due to high humidity. Nonetheless, the data of the 30min exposure may still be worth looking at.	Failed
69-501	2024-04-21	00:54	Mon	epic248847494	FIHd210070 - FIHd210072	The observation was done through thin clouds, which by the end of the observation became denser, causing the guide star to be lost during the last few minutes of the exposure, ending the observation a bit sooner. Although I have set the observation as complete, please check if the data is of use. Several ctrl c's as there were several attempts to carry out the observation thwarted by the clouds.	Observed
69-501	2024-04-28	00:00	Mon			Failed because telescope could not be opened due to high humidity and subzero temperatures.	Failed
69-501	2024-04-30	01:07	Mon	kic4663623	FIHd300113 - FIHd300115	Observed with clear sky and seeing around 1-2. First attempt was accidentally observed wrong target next to correct one.	Observed
69-501	2024-05-04	01:07	Mon	kic5786154	FIHe040122 - FIHe040124	Observed in clear skies with seeing around 0.6"	Observed
69-501	2024-05-14	01:06	Mon	kic5786154	FIHe140099 - FIHe140101	Target observed with clear skies, sub-arcsec seeing.	Observed
69-501	2024-05-18	01:07	Mon	kic4663623	FIHe180113 - FIHe180115	Observed with clear skies and variable seeing around 1.0''.	Observed
69-501	2024-05-21	01:06	Mon	kic5786154	FIHe210130 - FIHe210132	Observed with thin clouds and seeing around 1 arcsec. S/N estimates from exposure meter were 48 (O9), 51 (F3), 64 (G7) and 111 (M2).	Observed
