              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
nicfps went all 0 after mounting but an init solved the issue. There were no other issues with it for the rest of the night.
We had some light clouds at sunset that cleared up nicely and gave us a clear night. The seeing fluctuated to poor, to excellent, to poor, to good. The class finished up their second night of observing and did an excellent job!
