              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
We started out with some high clouds that were a little problematic.  They cleared around 2am.  Seeing was good overall, despite the clouds.
ARCTIC ran well in general, but the Adler group discovered an inconsistency in the header time stamps.  This made it unusable for their science, so we switched to SPIcam for the remainder of their run.  They are sending details to Joe and Conor.
Ecam froze 4 times in the last hour and half of observing.  PR submitted.
Tspec seemed to be mostly happy tonight.
