              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Gcam needed a restart this evening during checkout.
There were rain returns at the start of the night, but they quickly blew out and we opened at 16:26.
Seeing was fair but skies were clear.  Arctic behaved itself after some hiccups at the start of the night.
The second observer had TUI issues, so I did service observing for his program.
