              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started clear and calm with decent seeing. The PMSS locked up again, it was restarted (just the log program, not the whole computer). Around 23:00, some clouds came through, but they did not severely hamper observations.  Clouds came again around 2:40, observers used the time for cals (we did not close), and the clouds quickly passed we were back to observing by 3.  We observed until it was too bright.
