              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Restarted Agile heartbeat at checkout.
We had some trouble with clouds throughout the night with some threat of radar that kept dissipating before it got to us, so we were able to stay open. The clouds were troublesome as we got closer to midnight so instead of using the eyepiece we did a tour of galaxies with KOSMOS imaging, which was a fun treat! CU01 finished up a little early and donated a little extra time to JH06.
Temperatures from about 8C in the evening down to 4C in the  morning, humidity from 25 to 40%
