              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Dataq froze, PMSS listed as not available so I power cycled dataq on hub35m. Pressure sensor also stopped reading, power cycling the barometer brought it back to life.
Nice clear night with good seeing. Pollen counts in the 100/hr or less range. No telescope or instrument problems.
