              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
dataq needed to be restarted during checkout.
We had lots and lots of clouds at sunset. There was virga around us and we were not able to open for first half. During B half, while things didn't clear, we were at least able to punch through the clouds for brighter targets, but the seeing wasn't very good.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
