                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Thin clouds moving through all 1st half, cleared 2nd half.
Tested SPIcam-TUI interface: main inst guis and focus script seems to work
(or would if we didn’t have clouds) but skyflat does not.
NA2 guider lost communications. Power cycling would not restore it, so I
thought rotator position may be a problem again. We were at ~-110, when
this was happening. I moved the rotator by 50 degrees, et voila,
connections came back.
