              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The sky was beautiful tonight!  It was completely clear and, while a little windy, things were good.  Seeing was good all night and the Wyoming group (Amy Cavanaugh, Brad Lyke, Jacob McLane, Mara Zimmerman, Riley Jordan, Emily Jensen, with professor Michael Brotheron) are now trained.
We did have a few motion errors at az/alt -54/72,  -61/65, and -29/37.  There weren't any moths on the drives and the wind wasn't causing that much of a problem.  Russet suggested that we might start seeing these issues not that things are starting to get cold.
I'm hearing that clunking sounds again when I close the left dome door.  It occurs 3 times over the course of opening/closing.
