                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
Dave Cole and Gordon Richards were the observers for Adler (UC09).
They observed Pluto and Neptune with DIS.  They lost 0.1 hour due to
an MC hang.
I observed two gravitational lenses for PU01.
Jon Holtzman (NM08) did IR spectroscopy with GRIM2.  Jon lost 0.1 hour
due to a GRIM2 hang.  Other than that, his run went well.
Alan Diercks (UW01) did photometry with SPIcam.  His run was very
good, although the sky was photometric for just the first two hours.
