    SOFI observations:

    - 00:40UT: ASASSN-14jb, BG spectrum, Airmass (begining: 1.3, end: 2.3), Seeing (average: ~1.14")

    - 02:15UT: Hip110466, Telluric standard. Airmass 2.3, Seeing ~1.1"

    - 02:20UT: SN2013hx, we use the 'K_SN2013hx' obx file sent by Cosimo. Airmass 1.34 Seeing 1.13"

    - 04:10UT: GD71 Flux standard Airmass 1.42, Seeing ~1.2". Wind 12.5m/s Observations to the north/east were not possible

    EFOSC observations

    - 08:42UT: electronic problem with EFOSC. Night aborted.

POST-OBSERVATIONS:
