              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Mostly clear first half, windy. High winds closed us at 20:40. Re-opened at 00:40
only to close again at 02:10. Clouds, wind, and humidity second half.
gmech was not connected (gcam was, but piston position was unknown). Had to restart
gmech.
JH08 decided to use SPIcam with the current state of contamination. While closed
they wanted to do some tests with Agile. I had a hard time getting Agile to take
exposures without aborting. Had to restart nimble.
