              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend,R.McMillan
During instrument checkout I had to reinitialize NA2 guider with hub startNubs gcam, and the NICFPS dark was black and white and required a nicfps expose init command to fix. Skiped test slews due to very light rain.
High humidity and thick clouds stopped us from opening at the start of the night.
UW04 observer showed up late.
Opened at 22:00 with mostly clear skies and marginal humidity.
Closed again at 23:20 when humidity got too high again.
We stayed closed for the rest of the night.
