              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Overcast, lots of nearby radar, and humidity got really high. The large storm arrived a little after 21:00, passed through by about 01:00, but with more smaller storms and clouds behind it. By the time the radar looked safe we were completely overcast again, and then ran out of time necessary for UW06's observations. We didn't open tonight.
The NM07 observer reported trouble with TUI downloading images about the same time as I had a hiccup with on-site wifi (around 21:00, close to when the storm started here). I also had TUI on obs0 get disconnected ('No data seen in 60.0 seconds; testing the connection') at 04:18.
When I swapped the KOSMOS slits this morning and did a status robotics to update, I got some warnings about the cal stage and homed it a few times to clear them.
