              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Telescope focus seemed off by about +400 at the start of the night.  Perhaps the telescope is just cooling, but temps were not super far off from the outside air temps.
About a 20% difference between the new optidew (and SDSS) outside humidity and the old 3.5m sensors.  I used the SDSS and new optidews.
Focus moved to more normal 200ish values for DIS later in the night.
