              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland
Thanks Jack for the remote support!
Arcsat problems initializing the support library.
Closed dome at 6:10pm for dome cals, opened back up at 6:35pm. Closed because of high humidity at 8:55pm. GS01 gave up at 11:05, and JH08 started taking cals.
Opened at 1:30am and closed at 5:40am due to clouds and JH08 finishing their science targets on kosmos.
Arcsat motors are still on, user was taking cals.
