              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland
Remote support from Jack Dembicky. Thanks Jack!
Thick clouds rolled in around 9pm, and we closed up just after 10pm. Reopened at midnight. Clouds were a persistant pest throughout rest of the night. Closed for the night at 5:50am.
Problems initializing the support library on arcsat happened again.
Check LN2 tank #10. It seemed like it was leaking all night even though I closed it.
