              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Got on sky a little late because of radar returns in the county. It
cleared up quickly, and the weather and seeing improved after that. Decent
seeing during first half. Seeing went up to ~2-2.5" during the second
half, but we still had a productive night. Got Pan-Starrs from 05:30 until
it was too bright to continue.
CU students include: Rachel Plesha, Rebecca Nichols, Chris Yarrish, Jason
Beden, Michael Topping, Anthony Harness, Fabio Mezzaleira.
IR camera started freaking out again in the morning- around 05:00. I
turned off the television for the IR cam because it was making people
(myself included) nervous and nauceous.
We couldn't find the rotator information in the header files. Is it listed
there?
