              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Very dusty and windy in the afternoon.  With dust flirting with closure limits, opened at 19:25.  Stayed open, and once the telescope equilibrated seeing was beautiful.  Dust calmed after midnight. (note, dust was not dangerous while open)
DIS temps are great, even though ion pump is almost pegged.
In the morning the eyelids and mirror covers refused to be controlled from TUI.  Reset the mirror covers, but eyelids still don't work.
Also got Gabrelle's odd fan on/off errors

Have a lovely Leap Day!
