              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
NICFPS didn't want to take exposures during checkout, not connected to hub.  The ICS had hung so I restarted it, the hub, and all was well with NICFPS again.
We were closed due to clouds/rain until 02:20.
Clouds came back in at 04:50 and we closed shortly afterwards.
No telescope issues tonight.
