              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Guider seemed to hang around 09:43.  I noticed it a few minutes later and restarted.  The last image displayed was 695, then next image after restarting the guider was 789.  Not sure if it was taking images while hung but not issue guiding offsets.  The screen was not updating.  I restarted gcamera and gcam (zap didn't work).  That quickly fixed the problem.
I guess I forgot to record GIFS focus, 241 with seeing around 2 arc sec and variable.
Humidity shot up right at the end of the night, but we were closing anyhow.
