Problems: 

At 03 and then at 04:12 UT, on HIP099205 and HIP104304: the telescope fails to reach the target, it slows down but do not stop and moves beyond, motly in RA. Solution has been stop slewing and re send the target.

 

Comments: 

Tonight seeing was very bad, in the range 1.5" to 4.0". A bit windy and with relative humidity in the range 20% to 55% (up and down.) The sky looked clear but I believe it was rather hazy.

Skipped HIP12758, there is no 'bright' star in that position. Coordinates error? Used CDS portal and searched for HIP 12758: found a star with coordinates 02:43:57.962 -40:16:36.37 J2000 spectral type K3/4 V mag 8.71.

No time for, skipped: T0200807066, T0044797824,T0407966340
