              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I found that the Agile filter wheel was disconnected at evening checkout, exposures would abort during checkout script.  I restarted Agile and reconnected things to the hub, as well as set filter and home filter wheel.  This fixed the filter wheel problem but exposures still would abort prematurely.  TUI indicated a check of external sync circuit.  I reset agile hearbeat and this fixed the problem.
Optidew outside DP reading was not correct tonight.  It was changing but not reading correctly when compared to the other DP sensors on site.
