SCR2302-4650 (pointing and too cloudy, skipped.)
Guess order of requested integrations is: lines 35, 34 and 36, "sandwich" the object btw ThAr? (seen this 'typo' before.)
File 1166, T0147977348,poor S/N?
Through all the night clouds moving back and forth, some times 'clear' then cirrus, partial back to cirrus and so on. S/N up and down.
Unfortunately etaCar is beyond HA limit so it was needed to wait and once reachable, the Sun was over -10 degrees. Plus that sector of sky, almost overcast.
Last try on eta Car, when finally was able to put the telescope in place, Sun near -5 degrees. Did what possible and also it was overcast. A bad night.
