              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Setting the kosmos slit seemed to be working fine tonight.  No pink after a move to a different slit unlike last night.
Clouds and high humidity to start the night.  The clouds cleared out around 01:00 but the humidity never dropped.  No snow at all from the big storm we were supposed to get.
I gave up for the night at 05:50 with humidity still over the limit.
