Proposal Date Time Type Targets Files Comments Status
70-501 2024-12-02 00:02 SoftToO HD19445 ALHl020122 - ALHl020126 The same standard star was taken for several proposals so the data has been shared. Unfortunately the second target observation had to be aborted due to thick clouds. Failed
70-501 2024-12-03 00:48 SoftToO ZTF24abunzoi, SP1045+378 ALHl030188 - ALHl030195, ALHl030315 - ALHl030321 Targets observed with clear skies and seeing 2-4 arcsec. Observed
70-501 2024-12-19 00:49 SoftToO ZTF24absopvq ALHl190120 - ALHl190127 Clear skies and seeing around 1.6'' Observed
70-501 2024-12-20 00:00 SoftToO SP2209+178 ALHl200060 - ALHl200066, Setting as failed because while the standard was observed, the science target failed as the humidity rose to over 90%. Failed
70-501 2024-12-28 00:50 SoftToO ZTF24abgjdxk ALHl280184 - ALHl280191 OK seeing Observed
70-501 2025-01-02 01:15 SoftToO ZTF24abvzghz, ZTF24abtdiyv, SP1036+433 ALIa020147 - ALIa020153, ALIa020184 - ALIa020190, ALIa020195 - ALIa020198 Subarcsec seeing, clear skies Observed
70-501 2025-01-08 00:49 SoftToO ZTF22aanyxmg, SP1045+378 ALIa080074 - ALIa080080, ALIa080082 - ALIa080083, ALIa080152 - ALIa080158 Great night with excellent conditions. Low wind, humidity and good seeing. Observed
70-501 2025-01-12 01:24 SoftToO ZTF24abyzgqo, ZTF25aaaoxjm, SP1045+378 ALIa120137 - ALIa120151, ALIa120156 - ALIa120162 Seeing between 1.3 and 1.9 arcsec. Clear skies Observed
70-501 2025-01-17 00:49 SoftToO ZTF25aaaoxjm ALIa170241 - ALIa170248 ZTF25aaaoxjm was observed with thin clouds and seeing around 1.1''. Target was quite near the moon, please let us know if the data is usable. For the standard, the observation from proposal 68-501 can be used. It was not possible to observe ZTF24abyxrrh. Observed
70-501 2025-01-28 01:29 SoftToO HD19445, ZTF24abyxrrh, ZTF24abyatjx ALIa280197 - ALIa280201,ALIa280219 - ALIa280226ALIa280242 - ALIa280248 Shared standard star from other proposal. All targets observed with clear skies, 1" or better seeing. Observed
70-501 2025-01-31 00:45 SoftToO ZTF24abvtbyt, SP2209+178 ALIa310075 - ALIa310079, ALIa310089 - ALIa310095 ZTF24abvtbyt was observed with clear skies and variable seeing around 1.3''. Arcs are missing due to a technical hiccup after the target exposure was read out. Hopefully the calibs from the standard can be used instead. The standard stars proposed were not visible during the night, so the staff created a new standard OB called 'new_std_1_3' with a different target. This was observed with clear skies. Ctrl c'd a few times due to high winds. Observed
70-501 2025-02-01 00:55 SoftToO ZTF25aadkudx ALIb010098 - ALIb010105, ALIb010107 - ALIb010109, ALIb010114 The file: ALIb010114 is the standard created since the standard in the OB queue were not visible. There was an error after reading out the science exposure of ZTF25aadkudx stopping the calibs from being taken which is why the script was ran again with immediate cancellation of the science exposure so the calibs were taken. SN 2024afav was not observed due to high humidity at the end of the night. Observed
70-501 2025-02-14 00:48 SoftToO ZTF25aafiibc, SP1045+378 ALIb140298 - ALIb140305, ALIb140275 - ALIb140281 ZTF25aafiibc observed according to instructions. Standard observation with slit 1.0'' turned out to be redundant no time loss counted for this. ZTF25aafibim was stopped due to urgent ToO. Additionally the transient was indistinguishable from the galactic bulge. For the standard star of the 1.3 '' you may use files ALIb140265 - ALIb140269 of Hilt600 observed for program 70-503. Observed
70-501 2025-02-15 00:46 SoftToO SP1045+378, ZTF25aafibim ALIb150181 - ALIb150190, ALIb150132 - ALIb150138 Target observed with clear skies. Seeing around 1.4''. Target was close to the moon. Observed
70-501 2025-02-16 01:03 SoftToO ZTF25aacdjzo, SP1045+378 ALIb160185 - ALIb160192, ALIb160194 - ALIb160200 Targets observed in clear skies with seeing oscillating between 0.8" and 1.0". Please use morning flats for g', i and i' instead of those taken in the evening, as due to some technical delays were taken too late. Observed
70-501 2025-02-18 00:46 SoftToO SN2024afav, SP1550+330 ALIb180330 - ALIb180336, ALIb180337 - ALIb180343 Observed with clear skies and good seeing. Slight gusts of wind throughout. Observed
70-501 2025-02-23 00:48 SoftToO ALIb230279 - ALIb230283, HD93521, ZTF25aafkxduALIb230375 - ALIb230382 Observed with clear skies, sub-arcsec seeing. Observed
70-501 2025-02-24 01:12 SoftToO AT2025bpv, SP1045+378 ALIb240261 - ALIb240269 Targets observed in clear skies with seeing starting around 1.3" at the start of the night and improving to around 0.8" by the end. The standard for this proposal was the same as for proposal 70-012 so the time is split between both proposals. It was observed with the same setup and with the same airmass conditions. Observed
70-501 2025-02-26 00:55 SoftToO AT2025baj, SP1045+378 ALIb260232 - ALIb260239, ALIb260296 - ALIb260302 Targets observed with clear skies and seeing around 1" Standard star OB was aborted twice due to technical difficulties. Observed
70-501 2025-03-11 00:58 SoftToO ZTF25aainerh ALIc110085 - ALIc110092 One softToO observed according to instruction. One softToO cancelled due to humidity rising above 90%. For standard star please use ALIc110115 which was taken with the same setup. Observed
70-501 2025-03-12 00:00 SoftToO ZTF25aahcktj, ZTF25aahccao ALIc120121 - ALIc120124 Attempted both these OBs, but the targets were in no way visible in the acquisition images, probably because of high background from the moon. Both were aborted after acquisition frames. Failed
70-501 2025-03-17 01:35 SoftToO ZTF25aahccao, ZTF25aahcktj, SP1045+378 ALIc170191 - ALIc170198, ALIc170214 - ALIc170221, ALIc170232 - ALIc170238 All targets observed according to requirements, with clear skies. Observed
70-501 2025-03-20 01:00 SoftToO ZTF25aafuowv ALIc200209 - ALIc200216 Observed with clear skies and seeing around 1.1". Observed
70-501 2025-03-21 00:54 SoftToO ZTF25aaixhxe, ZTF24abzxalv ALIc210159 - ALIc210159 Observed with clear skies and good seeing. Observed
70-501 2025-03-22 00:37 SoftToO ZTF25aajhxmh ALIc220111 - ALIc220118 Observed with clear skies, moderate wind (around 13 m/s) and seeing around 1.0" Observed
70-501 2025-03-23 01:24 SoftToO ZTF25aajqkdo, ZTF18aclieva ALIc230116 - ALIc230131 Observed with highly variable wind. Seeing around 1.4" Observed
70-501 2025-03-25 01:00 SoftToO ZTF25aajxvvi ALIc250345 - ALIc250352 Observed with seeing around 1.5" at the start of the observation. Observed
