              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The altitude axis did not initialize on first init/move first slew.  I initialized it separately and it worked fine.
Clouds and humidity kept us closed at the start of the night.  Rain started falling around 23:00.  After the rain stopped the humidty never fell below closure level.
My observer gave up around 04:10.
