              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Most of the first half was lost to heavy clouds.  When the clouds allowed, seeing was pretty good.  Second half was about half lost to heavy clouds, large radar returns and threat of rain.
When focusing spicam, the script failed with the following message:
Failed: unbound method initAll() must be called with BaseFocusScript instance as first argument (got ScriptClass instance instead)
Ended up focusing by hand.  I never got the script to work at all, always gave this error.
Filter wheel had some problems after dismounting and rolling over floor seams.  See email for more info.
UV01 observers:  Chris Irwin, Kim Sokal, Chenliang Huang, Guillermo Damke, Steven Majewski
