              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out with clouds that never fully went away.  Seeing was astounding to good.
There was a dome collision at 04:22, Az=-1 Alt= 48 We were about 20 sec into an 80 sec slew when, as we crossed az=0, there was an over current in the strip chart and a dome collision. I reset the enclosure controller and we had no more problems but this is the third collision in two days. A PR was sent
