              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Few clouds at the beginning of the night, but mostly clear. Fluctuating seeing.
Platform lights seem to be triggered on when other lights are turned on (not sure
which one). I've found them on twice when I did not turn them on, and the enclosure
gui does not report them on. Turning them off seems equally mysterious. I eventually
hit enough buttons and got them off.
Telescope parked at high altitude for Apollo work.
