              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland
Fiducial error in Az during test slews.
Apollo did not run well tonight. There was an issue with the clock on houston. AP01 donated about 5 minutes to UW04.
Humidity was slowly creeping up in the second half of A half.
There was some really vivid aurora on the all sky cam for the majority of the night!
Closed at 6am to do cals.
