              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had a great last night with our UVa group! They are now all fully trained and professional astronomers. They also brought lots of pie. There are leftovers.
The night started with some clouds that cleared soon after midnight. Seeing was good all night, though it did get rather windy around 3am. We finished the night with DIS and I ran it through a full rotation test and everything moved smoothly so...yeah, I guess I just mounted it wrong the other day? Problem solved?
No problems tonight.
