- 21:00UT - SOFI_specflat, SOFI_FlatJHK (why not!)
PRE-OBSERVATIONS:
- 23:30UT - Sunset: A-maz-ing! A green flash and highly ridiculous colours.
- That's primarily as we're clouded out.
- Conditions: WE'RE CLOSED DUE TO CLOUD COVER
- 00:00UT - Still closed and it looks no better - at least another 2 hours
- 04:00UT - SOFI_specarc (why not)
- 06:00UT - Outside looks promising, so we're going to open!
