              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Agile was aborting before an image was completed stating that the image was available too early.  I restarted the heartbeat and it was good.
It was a clear night.
But it wasn't a great night.
The seeing was moderate.
The seeing was bad.
The wind was west.
The wind was east.
The galaxies were fuzzy.
The stars were far too large.
The laser was broad.
The moon was high.
The night was short.
The photons were many.
The trainiees were trained.
When the Apollo eyelid (BC1) closed it made a loud sound.  When I opened and closed the mirror cover and eyelids again it made the same sound (just when the eyelid hits the surface of the mirror cover base) but softer.  I'm thinking the eyelid closed too fast.
