              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
Dust for the first half of the night and clouds all night long. Not a good night for observing; we did not open.
ARCSAT had issues communicating and I had to restart the computer, but it wasn't a library support error, just ACP not knowing that the image finished exposing.
