Problems:
Power outage at 08:40 UT, generator switched on, but at 08:50 UT there was another power outage, we had electricity in the control room only for elementary devices.
After of the second power outage the connection with the detector controller was lost, I rebooted the GUI several times but it was not possible to re connect. I checked the torrent CCD controller in the instrument room, it was off, I tried to turn it on but it was not possible.
A third power outage at 10:15 UT, this time we lost the energy at each observatory facility (not energy, internet…)

Partially cloudy / cloudy / overcast the whole night, some spectra with variable/poor signal.
I stopped the observations at 05:20 UT because of the weather conditions (overcast).
Due to the limits of the telescope (DEC +17, west airmass 1.9), it was not possible to observe HR2214 at the beginning of the night.
Please unmark HR2214 and G2K001543 from the NOS.
