              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Candace operated the telescope for the first program, since she was observing.  I took over at 20:30, when the clouds and possible nearby precip forced us closed.
I noticed the air temp inside the dome seemed to be reading incorrectly at 04:15.  It was -9.1C outside and most everyting else was near that temp.  The dome air was reading -0.06.  It seems to be stuck at that value.
I called my ARCSAT observer, as requested, to let them know we finally opened (around 04:30) but no answer (I assume he went to sleep).
04:42 dcam hung, restarted Nubs fixed it.
No problems otherwise.  The dome air temperature stayed at -0.06 all night.
