              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
NA2 guider camera not responsive this afternoon.  No ping from camera.  I power cycled it and reconnected it to the hub.  All is well again.
Due to hardware problems with APOLLO, This time was ceded to UC04 tonight.
When I went up to change instruments at midnight, the winds picked up.  I decided to close as gusts were now over the closure limit.
Wind gusts never dropped below closure limits during 2nd half.  We gave up at 05:50.
