1st night of 3rd subrun (only SOFI).

All observations turned out to be good quality unless noted otherwise (**).

Note: airmass values are estimates based on visibility chart (exact vals pls see files) -- this has been the same in our other night reports.

initial weather cond:         humidity ~18%, wind ~9m/s, ~clear sky

middle-of-night weather cond: humidity ~17%, wind ~11m/s...5m/s, ~clear sky 

late-night weather cond:      humidity ~20%, wind ~4m/s, ~clear sky  

afternoon: specflat and SpecArc cal. blocks excecuted again (had time)

* used galless90sec pattern (marginally possible) to save time -> decent imaging + BG

  spec possible

UT 06:05    followup  SN2013K                   airmass=1.8    BG

** tried spec -- low S/N: Turns out that object moved out of the slit after 3rd-4th

   subexposure. Reason unknown (guiding ok??), but has never been the case in any other

   obs. of this run.
