              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Lots of observations tonight for the first half CU class.  Comet PanSTARRS (all the way down to 8.5 airmasses, we only had about a 20-30 minute window for observations to observe it), Jupiter, and some other objects and a look thru the eyepiece to end the students visit.
CU Students training tonight:
Stacey Pugeski, Eric McNeil, Jesse Caldweli, Amber Hall, Joel Medez, Brandon Parllet, Ben Gean
GIFS stopped around 02:59 when the user issued a hub restart command.  They didn't notice until about 30 mins later that the instrument was no longer working. We switched to DIS when we couldn't figure out how to reset the instrument and get it working again.
