              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
El Paso radar still down for maintenance.
ARCTIC failed to set quad to LL at checkout with error "set full window failed with retVal=4543058" so I had to do an init, which dropped the quad as usual. I recovered the quad tonight.
We had photometric sky and really good seeing again tonight!
