              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
High winds and high dust at sunset dropped down later in the evening.  Unusually, the dust came straight down and stayed down, while the wind kept trying to creep back up, but we were able to keep going with the telescope pointed away from the wind direction.
During checkout, NICFPS was unresponsive.  It needed a computer reboot and terminal server reset, in addition to software restarts.
