                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Noel Camron Hastings
      I opened the telescope under clear skies at 20:05 after late
afternoon and evening thunderstorms. The site was hit by lightning that
did not cause any damage that I can see, but 'event' indicators recorded
it. There were some problems with computer systems in the 3.5m, but
luckily they could be rerouted to manual control and did not affect our
getting on the sky. Seeing was good. Craig Loomis fixed the IRSC problems
from the previous night and got that running again.
      A dust event forced me to close at 00:40 MDT and was able to reopen
again at 03:35 MDT after the winds shifted for the better.

 22:00  Tertiary remote commands dead. Went to manual control
        to open covers and eyelids until someone can re-home
        the tertiary (requires 2 bodies) Craig thinks that
        perhaps the controller was power cycled. (lightning?)
