              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland
Thanks Jack for the remote support!
Weather was gorgeous all night! Opened at 5:45pm due to cals being taken at sunset, and closed at 6:00am for more cals.
Dataq had to be restarted twice.
Kosmos was very, very laggy with reading/opening images tonight.
Arcsat problem initializing the support library error at start of night while running a script. It happened 5 times in total during the night.
