              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started off with some high clouds but skies became clear and seeing was good. At 19:45 we had a motion error in az at Alt, Az 50, -8 but a tcc axis init fixed the problem.
Apollo needed a restart at dawn.
Everyone was very excited for their turkey coma, though the B half people perhaps a little less than the A half given they were going to be enjoying very little sleep.
No turkeys were spotted on site.
