Comments: 

DIMM data gaps in Tololo and Pachon monitors, used both in the report.
Tonight got more instances of dome / telescope out of sync.
HR7113 : stopped at integration #9 because airmass~2.232, HA~2:34: risky! limit is 2:29
06:00 UT waiting, too cloudy. File 1150 'ok', but 1151 have a very poor SNR.
Overcast, closed dome at 08:15 UT, interrupted integration 1158 at 20 minutes.
Is better to reschedule TIC248655556. Skipped T0167661160,   please reschedule.
08:15 UT closed the dome and reopened at 08:40 UT: through the 4th quarter the weather went from partially cloudy to overcast to almost clear (some cirrus though.) 09:27 UT thick clouds at the east, again, impacting the integration on T0052420398. Stopped integration at 3000 [s]
Last integration ('gamma Vel') completed with the Sun at -10.2 degrees of altitude.
