              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
A good night that started out clear with moderate seeing, but it ended poorly with clouds that became so thick that I couldn't see the moon.  We called it quits at little before twilight.
Arcsat started the night by being lost.  Luckily, only one re-zenith was all it needed and it worked fine.
No problems tonight.
Happy Turkey day! I'm trotting off to bed but I'll have a song for you tomorrow ;)
