              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Partly cloudy most of the night with a clearing towards morning.
Spicam focus script failed, had to manually focus the instrument, PR submitted.
No telescope problems otherwise.
I left spicam next to the NA2 rotator but NOT mounted (on cart) so my
observer could take dome flats in the morning.
