              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Lots of thick clouds, a little radar, high humidity. a few big wind gusts, and some rain during B-half. We didn't open.
When I tried to test the 1.25-ctr KOSMOS slit adjustment KOSMOS stopped responding and none of the normal troubleshooting methods worked (PR 2206).
