Comments
SNID fits are not great
NIR observations aborted
SN was not immediately obvious so we moved on, especially with increasing airmass
Blue continum with a few narrrow absorption feartures. No SNID match
SNID provides a range of options
Doubled exposure to combat clouds
Doubled exposure to combat clouds, includes focus check
Blue continum, no SNID match
No SNID match
SNID suggests Ic at low redshift
Slight overlap with twilight - 3 minutes
