                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Local thunderstorms around sunset delayed opening. Highly variable seeing
1.6” to 2.5” for most of 1st half. Seeing improved somewhat for 2nd half.
Twice tonight while tracking TUI reported a “Motor 1 current limit” error.
First time GFP was on and it was the Az drive, 2nd time DIS was on and it
was the rotator.
Second half observer had some networking issues, that seemed to be on his
side.
