              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Tspec was not good, I took 1500 darks.
Ecam was not working properly but I did not notice the error until we went on sky.
The night started cold and windy.  We had to close due to wind at 19:42.  We reopened at 00:57 but closed again at 02:00 due to wind.  There was a power outage at 19:36, likely due to the wind.  NC01 quit at 05:08 as there was not enough time to run their project.
The DIS Slitviewer shutter was not closing during UW07 program.  Ecam images were corrupted but was resolved through a power cycle during NC01 program.  Junbo Zhang was an untrained observer for NC01.
