              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland,A.Townsend
Fiducial error in az at 18:43, during the second test slew.
Opened at sunset.
Arcsat needed a software reboot twice due to a library support error.
AP02 donated 20 minutes to JH01 due to bad seeing.
Closed at 11:25pm due to incoming radar and worsening clouds.
We got a little bit of rain! And then a lot of humidity. We were unable to open, and gave up around 05:30.
