              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
DIS spectra looked very strange tonight (no spectra, looked like images instead or very broad spectra in the red). I homed DIS things which fixed the problem.  There were a coupple intermittent site power flickers earlier, perhaps the controllers got lost, althought I suspect they should have been on UPS and not affected.
Lt. rain to start the night.  Clouds cleared enough to open around 23:00. Clouds moved back in around 00:15 but we remained open.  We closed again around 01:30 when the humidity went over the limit.  We never re-opened the remainder of the night due to humidity/clouds.  We called it at 05:00.
