Calibrations:
EFOSC2:

dome flat and arcs (evening)
arcs (morning)
Weather:
Start: Humidity 30%, wind speed 2.0, seeing: 0.6, thin clouds
Middle (5 ut): Humidity 30%, wind speed 3.5, seeing: 0.8
End: Humidity 19%, wind speed 5.3, seeing: 1.2
Comments:
The seeing value from the DIMM wasn't always reliable when compared with the images. In those cases, we were estimating the seeing from the acq images.
*Seeing estimated from the acq image.

03:18 AT2019azh Follow-up gr11+16 1.9 1 1800s each Failed: We were not able to find it in the acquisition image, so we aborted it. Most likely because of the proximity to the moon.
04:21 ASASSN-18fv Follow-up BVRi 1.17 0.9* B(2x2.5)VRI(3x1s) Aborted due to saturation
04:29 ASASSN-18fv Follow-up BVRi 1.17 0.8* B(2x1)VRI(3x0.7s) We found out that there is a 'ghost shadow' affecting the nova from a saturated star in the field.

04:56 ASASSN-18fv Follow-up BVRi 1.2 0.8* B(2x1)VRI(3x0.7s) To avoid the 'ghost' we decided to repeat the observation moving the saturated star outside of the field. Nova in unbinned pixels:X=1244,Y=1396
