              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Dome collision indicator on at checkout.
KOSMOS calstage got stuck on "Moving" when commanded in, 'kosmos calstage status' and then trying to move it again fixed the problem.
Motion error in alt after re-initializing axes and set inst at changeover.
We had a few clouds this afternoon that cleared up nicely and we had pretty good seeing tonight as well. Everything else went smoothly.
