              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had clouds start the night and more clouds end the night.  However, there was basically zero wind and we had some good seeing.  That being said, users had difficulty acquiring high quality data with DIS.  OU03 switched to AGILE halfway through their half to obtain light curves of their objects. It actually worked out quite well!
ARCSAT gave us issues but calmed down after midnight.
No problems tonight.
Strange, I wonder if my eye will burn up before they explode...
