Problems: 

Around 22:35 UT lost pointing (trying RA 20:22:16.08 DEC -88:34:06.6 (allowed position in HA.) ) Same as time ago, found the telescope "wrong" in RA.

 

 

 

Comments: 

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.
