              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
ecam and gcam needed a restart during checkout.
The night started with thunderstorms to the north and we delayed opening for about an hour. However, we were then only open about an hour as new radar popped up.  it started raining around 23:30 and, after it stopped, the pollen was high and I stayed closed. Things died down around 4am and NM06 was able to get some photons with moderate-good seeing all night.
