              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I had to reconnect ecamera to the hub, refused to take images.
The sky was starting to improve around 04:00 but I was seeing precip to our N headed in this direction that I wasn't sure was real or not.  I decided to wait a bit longer to be safe.
We called it a night at 04:10 since there would not be enough time, if we could open, at this point to get an observation of the observers target that they needed.  The satelite also wasn't looking that promising on being able to open either, with clouds still around us.
