              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: P.Gaulme
Snow all night long.
Observations canceled even in case of sudden clear sky because of the snow accumulated on the roof.
Ran the snow program up to 4am then I parked the telescope towards south.
Heaters on at the begining of the night, then it was too cold for them to work (-6.5 C).
Did the fills at 3:15am.
