              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
The DIS red ion pump had to be restarted during checkout. Night started out mostly clear, with high thin clouds passing by.  Seeing was middling, growing better as the night progressed.  Clouds cleared out around midnight, and it was clear.  DIS ion pump restarted manually again at 00:45. All observers were able to observe all night.
