              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: D.DeColibus
I needed to home the DIS turret a couple times during checkout. We had some irritating high clouds at the beginning of the night, but they pretty much cleared up by 21:00.
We did have to point away from the wind around 01:45. Otherwise, it was a pretty uneventful night, and we closed up around 06:00. DD02 was still running DIS calibrations when I went to bed, but they should be done within a couple hours.
