              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had power outage during the afternoon which resulted in the axis controllers needing to be reset. We had beautiful clear skies with good seeing! However, I needed to defocus for arctic (we couldn't use the diffuser and keep desired stars isolated) and I did not note the focus.
at 1:50 am images stopped recording (arctic and guider) and we were given an error that the hub35m disk was full. After calling Shane and Russet and deleting old data, we were able to start taking images again.
Dataq needed a restart around 4am.
