              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Telescope at 4 alt with reverse limit warning in the TUI status window when I arrived, and dataq lost connection with the PMSS again.
We had a big thunderstorm passing through this evening, we got a little rain and a lot of thunder and wind. Clouds were solid for a while. They cleared up enough for us to check DIS on sky before the next wave of smaller storms came through and we got a tiny bit more rain. After the second set of storms the humidity went up.
Engineering tasks:
- Axes restarted
- NA2 zeroed
- Hub restarted
- DIS contamination and performance checks
- DIS spectrum of the M101 supernova
- Scheduling
