              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night was clear with excellent seeing (except for poor Apollo).
I added to PR 1542 about the guiders freezing up.  Tonight is was ecam.
In the afternoon, gcam was badly hung, and required a reboot.  Then shortly after starting to use it second half, it needed another reboot.  It froze one other time during the night, but did not require a reboot.  It seems to always include this error:
2014-10-29 12:08:48 .gcam.1 29 gcam f text="\"'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'\""
Although the error itself is not always fatal.
We also had two motion errors that required stopping the drives and using the estop button to reset.  All during second half.
