              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Gcam needed another restart this afternoon. Evening started with somewhat thick cirrus clouds, but NM05 had bright targets, so we were able to power though it. Forcasted humidity never arrived, so that was good as well. Seeing was average to good. Around 22:00 clouds thinned, but this dropped temperatures and increased the RH. NM05 ended a little early, gave the time to JH05. Humidity stayed borderline, and clouds were present, but observer was able to get data, and we stayed open all night.
