              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
DIS red ion pump needed restarting during checkout. Skies were partly cloudy to clear, with ok seeing. Intense storms formed to our west, and by midnight were threatening the site. Rain hit at 00:20. The rain persisted until about 02:00. After that we tried to open around 03:00 as it looked to have passed, but upon opening the shutters, it was found that there was still precip coming down, so we closed immediately. Clouds, high humidity and another rain system kept us closed the rest of the night.
