              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
agile was having an issue with the filter wheel during checkout and was reporting the fw wasn't connecting. I connected, homed and read in the filter config file and all was good.
Lots of clouds but not as much wind as was forecasted. We peaked a little over 35 mph but it was the clouds that kept us closed all night. There was no chance of clearing by 4:30am so I called it.
