              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had a pretty good turkey day!  There were high clouds at the beginning of the night but they cleared up after midnight and we had moderate seeing.
When moving the DIS gratins for UV02, the detent numbers went in the negative direction but the gratings did not misalign.  Apollo needed a restart at dawn but it didn't get cold at all tonight, it was above 8 C. ARCSAT randomly closed around 20:32 and we don't know why.
OMG, the Sunspot Thanksgiving feast was delicious!!
