              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend,C.Gray
There was a motion error in az at 164.5 moving towards east during test slews, which were a bit elongated as we did dome rides with the class. Also TUI on obs0 disconnected at about 04:00. Otherwise telescope and instruments were fine.
We had a few clouds after doing an eyepiece tour of the sky with the class, but we were open all night.
