              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
NICFPS failed during checkout with "Clearing H1RG serial registers" error, did hub startNubs nicfps+nicfpsExpose and nicfps expose init which fixed the problem.
Set kosmos camfoc=3040 for temps a little under 0C.
Humidity was marginal for much of A-half, but came back down around 23:00. We observed through clouds for most of the night but were able to stay on sky until twilight.
