              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Although not used tonight, ecam would not take an exposure during checkout. It
seemed to just hang. I tried cycling the power via ecamera off/on + restarting Nubs
repeatedly. I even tried power cycling using the switch hanging in the intermediate
level (which I'm not even sure if this does anything anymore???). Nothing seemed to
bring it back. Just before I submitted a problem report I tried restarting once more
and somehow this time it worked.
Few clouds, but good seeing most of the night.
