              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Most of the night was lost to storm clouds and high humidity.  Finally got open at 03:00.
Note to day staff:  One of the dome shutter doors groans when opening/closing.  I'm not sure which one, or what it means.  Perhaps the gears need some oil?
