Could not get 3T data on MWC275 MWC275 data on E1E2 (2T, half bracket). As W1 cannot currently lock tip/tilt on our north targets, we switched to E1E2S1 instead of the planned S1E2W1. Could not get a tip/tilt lock on our brightest program target, so we had to settle for a backup target, WR140. WR140, data on E1E2S1 (5 brackets)
