              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
We had heavy rain starting a little before 19:00 which lasted about 45 minutes, and then nearby radar and lots of clouds for all of A-half, with a little bit more rain around midnight.
The wind shifted around 02:00. The sky started clearing up but dust counts went up. Another shift around 04:30 brought the dust counts down and we were able to open for the last hour or so and observe into twilight (yay infrared!)
When toggling the press fans on from TUI I got a "failed to get enclosure status" error, and I had to click the checkbox again for it to work.
NICFPS and M2 both behaved well!
