              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
So I had a strange error at the start of the night when I went to move the tert from BC1 to NA1.

I opened the mirror covers, since I was in the dome and I wanted to confirm they were working, and issued the tertrot again (from TUI) and this time it worked fine.  I had no issues doing the tertrot for the 2nd half back to NA2 (mirror covers closed).
Clouds and humidity kept us closed all night tonight.
