              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Dataq needed a backend restart during checkout. Louvers also would not open. Skies were okay around sunset, but began to cloud up around 21:30 becoming almost completely overcast. Scope was stopped, mirror covers closed, but shuttters left open so we could take advantage of a suckerhole if need be. Around 22:30 returns popped up on the radar and we closed completely. We were able to open again at 00:25. Skies were mostly clear, and seeing was good.
