              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Fiducial error too large @ 0deg az, 06:59
Magna Sensor dump @ 2024-03-02 07:01:07
We had to stop a Kosmos exposure which hung as it finished the read. Just had to restart the nubs to get Kosmos to take images again.
My 1st half observer finished a few mins early and this allowed the 2nd half observer to start a few minutes ahead of schedule.
I forgot to take an IOL at midnight.  I took one at the start and end of the night.
No problems tonight other than some pesky clouds during 2nd half.
