              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Work on the network today, but didn't really cause us any issues.  Kaike started the night with his program on DIS (NM05) with a slight delay.
Attempted ARCTIC standards, but were plagued by clouds and ICC issues.
Checked collimation, but did not adjust.
Went back to ARCTIC standards until clouds stopped us.
Zerod the rotator, and reset axes controllers.
Pointing model failed due to heavy clouds.
Let Candace test an observing script for future observations.
Tspec was happy, and seemed to stay happy throughout.
