              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Virga. Everywhere.
We were totally surrounded at sunset though the rain sensor never went off. The clouds lasted much longer than I thought they would and we weren't able to open until B half. However, when we did open, the seeing was amazing!! 0.72", which did slip when the wind shifted to the north. The clouds stayed light for the rest of the night.
I did encounter the BC1 bottom mirror petal having difficulty closing during afternoon check out and when I went to close for the night. I added it to the PR trail and Ben is looking into it.
