              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Tspec good
The night started out breezy and cloudy. Seeing was moderate.  There was trouble with the Agile rotator on the first program of the night.  When the rotator neared the rotation limit a motion error occurred and I had to reset the rotator.  This occurred several times.  When that was addressed I spent some time trying to solve the issue of the missing stars.  After attempting to change the tertiary mirror position and opening and closing the eyelid I visually inspected the eyelid and found it would not open.  The eyelid was able to open after I closed and reopened the mirror covers.
