              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We closed at 23:00 due to a nearby growing thunderstorm.  Lots of lightning!
My observer aborted their KOSMOS exposure which appeared to hang things, ie. it looked like the exposure was still in progress when it wasn't.  I aborted the exposure from the command line via the wiki instructions, which said no exposure in progress.  I then just reconnected KOSMOS to the hub, via the wiki instructions, and it worked without having to restart the torrent.
Clouds and a thunderstorm closed us around 23:00.  We never re-opened.
