                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Lots of cirrus of various thickness throughout the night. Seeing was
 moderate to very good. Created a PR to resolve communication issues
 with the guiders - tcc communications through the hub. No other
 problems.
