P69-018: Flares or changing-states? - A pilot study of black hole transients
PI: S. Raimundo
This is a Monitoring program using ALFOSC spectroscopy with Gr# 7 and 8 and the
Slit_0.5" wide slit.
Instrument setup:
- ALFOSC: Gr #7, Gr #8, 0.5'' slit
Daytime calibrations:
- alfosc.alfosc-calibs AL**** in the morning after the observations.

The science target showed H-alpha lines and some other features while looking at Quickspec. The target and the standard were observed after the Moon went below horizon. |

The standard star Feige56 was observed at the beginning of the night, and the rest of the targets were observed in the middle of the night. The preference to observe the standards before the science target wasn't obeyed as there were higher priorities to follow in scheduling. Seeing was around 1.5'' during every target. |
