Night #9 (2008/12/23) Last before Christmas

Dome opened at 18:30

Here was our plan:

1 WR 140
2 HD 14134
3 telluric star in M45 (near zenith, so at low air mass)
4 WR 6
5 one Oe star
6 same Telluric star in M45 (closer to the horizon, so at high air mass)

Guess what we did!
Correct, only WR140! Clouds rolled in again on the last exposure of WR 140.
Bad weather is arriving always at the middle of something. Its curious that every time we can do something in a night, it is always WR 140, but if bad weather appears, it is only after we have measured it.

Well, the dome is closed already, and we are now cleaning everything on the observatory. Tomorrow we must not be here. The whole observatory complex will close for Christmas, and we must go down to Puerto de la Cruz to a new hotel. We must check in at the hotel before 18:00. this means that it is likely that I will no longer have easy internet connection. So there might be a short break on posting for two days. On the 26th, we shall return to MONS again, and posts will find their way into this blog again.
Note that I can write posts offline, so a few may appear on the 26th ;)

Merry Christmas!
