              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Arctic was in 3x3 mode tonight and did not want to switch back to 2x2 for the checkout script (or manually changing to 2x2 and clicking apply).  It threw an error in TUI and refused the change.  The fix was to manually switch to Quad mode, then app;y the 2x2 bin.  After that things worked fine in either LL or quad mode.
Seeing started out fair but became poor around midnight with a strong east wind came in.
No other problems
