              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Had multiple tiny power glitches early in the night.  None of them were enough for the lights to flicker, just enough for the computers to beep.  At the end of the night the mirror covers closed fine in the morning without needing to be reset.
Productive night with decent seeing.
1st half UC04 observers: M.Hammergren, M.Solontoi, G.Gyuk
