01:35    SN2016adj (follow-up): Attempted to acquire for spectrum, could not reliably find object. Took 3x100s i-band imaging to determine if object still present

01:57    Standard, LTT7379

02:16    LSQ15adm (follow-up): Bgi 9x200s, Vr 6x200s. Small software fault cost 5-10 minutes

05:06    Attempted image analysis as there was evidence of PSF distortion in final LSQ15adm images. Actuator problem caused downtime for ~40 minutes
