              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
The night was mostly lost of heavy clouds, high humidity, and strong winds.  Just about the whole time we were open, we were waiting on clouds.  Most often we were trying to push through them, with no luck.While we were open, we didn't get much.
Tspec was happy.
I had an issue with the altitude in the evening, which was fixed by resetting the axis controller.  We had no further proplems with it.
