              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
KOSMOS disperser wheel rotation failures:
00:13:05 0 rot, blue to red
00:09:27 135 rot appx, blue to red, both stopped near red
Seeing was abysmal all night, and humidity and wind were high at times which didn't help. However, we did stay open all night!
No telescope problems.
