              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out very windy and we could not open until just before sunset at 18:45.  The wind died down but the seeing was an absolute train wreck and we never got below an arcsec.
The Dataq windows machine was frozen and had to be restarted at the beginning of the night.
Tspec was corrupt. I tried a long power cycle and was able to get some good images but it became corrupt again and I was never able to bring it back.
