              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Closed for the night due to snow on enclosure and snow/ice buildup on the lightning arrestors.
Snow program ran all night.  Telescope parked due South in the morning.
I received this error when I went to park the telescope this morning and the Az was reporting a controller error afterwards.
09:13:24 .tcc.0 0 tcc F Modu="prt_Read"; Text="read timed out on port LTA3:"
I did an axis init, released stop button, then pushed stop button back in and issued an axis stop.  Not sure if it fixed the problem or not but things looked normal.
Since we were officially closed for the entire night I closed a little early (03:40) as I was feeling a cold coming on.
