              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Beautiful clear and photometric weather tonight! The winds finally abated.
I recovered the ARCTIC dropped quad tonight but the ion pump was struggling afterwards. Bill sent me on a scavenger hunt around the building and the ARCTIC is now connected to an older controller sitting underneath the old DIS controllers, and the vacuum pressure has come back down.
But we had no trouble with the telescope or the instruments on-sky!
