              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray, J.Dembicky, R.McMillan
nicfps was reading all 0's during checkout.
The night was calm and we had night clouds all night but they didn't disrupt observing. We had great seeing and everyone was able to get good data!
Arcsat was becoming a real problem and I had to call Jack to assistance. Russet was also on tonight to assist with BY05's observations as well as try and think up a plan for agile engineering.
