              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Training Timothy Brown and Jean-Michel Desert on 3.5m operations tonight.
We had some issues with Agile guiding tonight (using Agile guider), the good news was our blind tracking was really good (so this doesn't appear to be a az bearing issue).  PR submitted.
Humidity was a roller coaster ride for the 2nd half of the night.  Swings from 60% to 85% and back.  We stayed open.
No problems tonight
