              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Some high clouds made for variable seeing, but observed all night. When I
mounted NICFPS, I did not completely remove the cart from underneath, and
the rotator error-ed. Once I removed the cart and restarted the rotator,
no more problems.
