                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
High winds, high humidity and thunderstorms all night. Never opened.
DIS red exposures are timing out. The log messages count down the readout
and then report “CCD readout failed” and “FAILED object readout” - while
reporting 0.0 during the countdown. All communications seem fine
(restarting nubs, init-ing or power-cycling the icc do not help). The blue
side is fine.
