Support team: QUB, TBD, Mark Magee

Weather conditions: clear, windstill, humidity 48%, seeing (DIMM) ~0.9"

00:40 UT: follow up of AT2016iks, gr11+gr16+flat (we started before twilight ended)

02:03 UT: Standard star vma2

02:35 UT: refocusing

02:40 UT: Follow up of AT2016hmq (2x1800s), seeing ~1", humidity 50%, windstill

03:52 UT: Follow up of SN2016ipf (g11+g16), seeing still ~1", humidity 55%, wind 2.2m/s

04:58 UT: Standard star L745a; seeing 1.04, thin clouds, 56% humidity

05:27 UT: refocusing

05:33 UT: Follow up of SN2016iae; seeing ~1.01, humidity 56%, pyrgeometer -105.7

06:10 UT: Classification of AT2016ile. Seeing is jumping from 1.2-2.2", but it's again clear, and humidity dropped to 47%. (looks like Ia or Ia-91T at 15-30 days past maximum, at z~0.065)

06:55 UT: Classification of AT2016ind. seeing 2.37", and changing rapidly. We did slit 1.5" and increased exp time to 1800s (looks like AGN).

07:35 UT: Classification of AT2016ivt. seeing improved to 1.33". Thin clouds. We did slit 1.0" and increased exp time to 600s (looks like Ia pre-max at z~0.030).

07:55 UT: Classification of AT2016iwk. seeing ~1.0". Thin clouds. (looks like Ia a week after max. z~0.053)

08:12 UT: End of night
