Templates in VRi, 6*100s each. Used "EFOSC_img_acq_PresetNoGuide" to acquire the target due to previous problems with finding a guide star. First two exposures started too early (sky too bright). Since the target was low and declining, we did not perform image analysis but just did a focus. (2) Full image analysis. We lost quite a lot of time here since there was a problem with the telescope, which took a while to identify and fix. Clear sky so we used slit 10" instead of 1.5" in order to test the throughput. We will do 1"/1.5"/10" with the STD later in the night (if all goes well), since there are a lot of targets to observe early in the night. (3) CSS140424-133007-212728. 2*1800s gr11, 1800s gr16. Very interesting and decent S/N spectra. H-alpha in emission only (z~0.018). In the blue, it looks as though there are many low velocity (~1500 km/s ?) p-cygni lines, including more of the Balmer series. (4) CSS140424-133007-212728.
