              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
The thick clouds at the beginning of the night kept us from getting any
science, and the winds and humidity closed us at 19:15. Snow flurries and
telescope temperatures kept us closed until 00:20.
At 22:37, we received an alarm about the SPIcam ion pump. It was an
isolated message. When I went up to open again, the pressure had dropped
to 1 e-11. I followed Bill's instructions in the email from Jan. 7 to
restart the pump control, and after 3 minutes, the setpoint light remained
dark and the pressure was 1 e-11 again. I called Bill at this point. He
was able to determine that there was no immediate danger, and I monitored
the temperature the remainder of the night without issue.
After opening at 00:20, rest of the night was successful, with seeing  1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
