Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Tasks completed:
- Restart TCC and Tron
- Restar axis controllers

- Took DIS contamination data:
/export/images/Q3APO/UT240723/dis/contam*fits
- restarted optical cloud cam
- screamed into the void over the shack computer. It's working now!
The rain, clouds, and humidity continued for most of the night. Things started looking promising aroud 3am but, at that point, I was screaming at shack. I didn't get things sorted out until 4:30 when the humidity went backup and I had to turn off the fans, so I called it a night.
