              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Training J.Nemec for 3.5m remote operations tonight.
NA2 guider camera not working tonight.  na2alta not responding to pings.  I power cycled the camera and restarted things and set the camera temp back to -25C.  This fixed the camera but I couldn't get the temperature to stay at -25C.  PR Submitted.
I homed the dis turrent and motors tonight.  Off by +/-13 steps.  This put things back close to nominal again.
I topped GIFS off at 20:00 tonight.
Clouds and the threat of rain closed us at 21:42
We re-opened at 23:15
Pointing seemed off for a few stars with the echelle.  I fixed pointing at the end of the 1st half.
No telescope problems tonight.
GIFS filled @ 05:15
