              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started partly cloudy with rapidly rising humidity.  We opened for a short while for pickup science with the NM07 program, before humidity got too bad.  We closed at 20:18.  The rest of the night we contended with high humidity and then storms passing through.  We did not open again. While closed, we focussed DIS, took new masks for DIS and tested the tilts. We also zeored the rotator, and reset the axis controllers.
