Observing Summary:

Hello:

	Program was imterrupted a couple of times in order to wait
	for clouds to pass, but a non-photometric program was accomplished
	with very variable seeing throughout the night.

	Lots of clouds at the star of observations but cleared up
	at the middle of the night leaving a thick haze (is that correct ?)

	Rui and Carlos; In one ocasion I have changed the order of the
	targets. e.i.; observing HW Pup before any Portugal object target.
	I do this for two reasons: 1) so I can start recording the
	CHILE_PONT directory, and 2) because it just makes sense to
	observe it before the long exposure thaat Portugal targets take.
	Please let me know if this is the wrong thing to do or not.

	Question: Do you still recommend to observe ngc2477 at the
		  best airmass possible, and interrupting any secuence
		  to do this ?

	That is all,	
	Saludos.
