              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
dataq needed a restart
There are moths on the drives! Like, three dusty, gutsy regions when I cleaned them at checkout. The live ones attempted to steal my food - DIE! Thankfully, their reappearance for the year did not result in any telescope issues.
Things were clear all night and, despite the windy day, things calmed by sunset and we had terrible seeing which improved to good only to go back to bad at dawn.
