              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We had storm clouds at sunset that gave us some nice rain showers (it's pretty dry up here) and a nice light show during twilight.  I delayed the az drive testing until the rain subsided.
Initial checkout of instruments (after network switch power cycled today), everything seemed happy except Agile needed a little more TLC, basically just reconnecting the filter wheel.
Reset controllers, alt, az, na2, agile
zero'ed NA2 rotator (-0.200)
Az drive oscillation testing while we were closed.
Weather kept us closed all night.  We had a short break in the clouds around 2:15 but there were bad storms very close and a storm moving towards us from the south.  I opted to stay closed rather than risk rain on the mirror.
