              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Nicfps require an expose init at checkout. Weather was clear, and calm with good seeing. During DD02's program, nicfps was showing the error in readout requiring addtional inits. It was most likely related to the rotating of the instrument. Other than that, great night. We were open all night.
