              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Dembicky
We were closed tonight due to ice on the lightning rods on the dome and snow/ice on the enclosure.
Can we say COLD!!!  Temperature hit -27.8C tonight  BRRRR.....
The mirror covers were very unhappy at this temperature in auto mode. They worked fine in manual
mode.
The Dome Mac also was not happy with the extreme cold and crashed.  I could not get it to reboot
without crashing again.
Telescope parked due S to let the sun do its work during the daytime.
DIS blue ion pump turned off, per Bill.
