              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
We had photometric sky all night with good seeing!
PMSS was frozen and I had to power cycle it from hub35m to see it as Available when finding devices. Like Jack mentioned the other night, I also didn't get a Recording Time option.
A KOSMOS exposure failed with error "not connected to torrent" but 'kosmos conndev' brought it back immediately. No disperser wheel stickages though, and the cal stage worked great!
