              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend, R.McMillan
Clear all night with seeing everywhere from really good to really bad. The class got lots of good data!
Command collision caused NIC filter wheels to get lost.  The home command doesn't work right, and Russet had to look up the correct way to home. Resolved in about 5 minutes.
No telescope troubles!
