              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed a nubs restart at checkout
The night started fairly clear with thin clouds rolling in around 10pm and rolling back out after midnight. They didn't cause us any problems and we had good seeing. Other than gcam, no problems tonight!
