              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed a nubs restart during checkout.
We had beautiful clear skies all night! But the wind couldn't make up its mind about which way to blow. In the end, it lead to highly variable seeing, but still quite good seeing conditions.
The echelle IOL continues to fall. The blue started at 23 at 17:00 and was at 20 at 4:30am. I filled at 6am and took another measurement and it had increased to 21! So maybe it's finally starting to level out!
