              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
NICFPS again had the same issue tonight during checkout as last night.
2019-01-31 23:10:21 APO.APO-Jack 32 nicfps w UNPARSEDTEXT="Clearing H1RG serial registers Error: 0x455252"
2019-01-31 23:10:21 APO.APO-Jack 32 nicfps w WINDOW=UNKNOWN
2019-01-31 23:10:21 APO.APO-Jack 32 nicfps f UNPARSEDTEXT="\"Setting WINDOW FAILED!\""
Same fix as last night, 2 x 'nicfps expose init' and things were once again happy.
It got too cloudy around midnight change over so I opted to close (first mirror covers, then building so my observer could do DIS cals).  The sky started to look like it was clearing around 04:50 and around 05:15 I felt it was safe enough (and clear long enough) to try to open.  By 05:35 it was completely cloud covered again, just after I had opened!!!  Arghhh.  We closed back up and gave up.
