              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out clear and windy but we were below 30mph and the dust was low. We had OUT OF THIS WORLD SEEING!!!  0.6"!!  I had to double check it to make sure I wasn't making an error. W.Peters and K.Garcia where onsite to conduct their first night of their three night training.
We did end up having problems with the DIS slit wheel not homing but after removing and remounting the wheel 3x and trying to rotate and home, it started working again. 40min was lost in addressing the DIS wheel.
