              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
gcam needed restart
kosmos needed a reconnect to torrent when the user tried to change the binning
The night started with rain, RAIN!!! And then high humidity and clouds. But we were somehow able to open, and get good seeing, even with the eastern winds. Once we were open, all was well.
