About HD 21050 and HD 24740, not sure if the requested mode was slit_i2 or slit_iout. Used slit_i2 but apparently I cannot set the calibrations to ThAr_i2. 

Something happened around 4:20-04:30 UT that affected both RINGSS and the weather station: T, dew point,RH, flux/seeing values drop for ~ 20 minutes and then go back to their previous levels.

Because of the time available I got only 2 out of 3 integrations of RT Cru (540 seconds each, sorry!.)  Last integration completed with the Sun at -7.8 degrees of elevation.
