                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 21:25 MDT.
Chris Stubbs was the observer for UW12, and Gene Magnier observed for
UW05.  Both programs went well.  I had to correct the altitude axis
pointing a few times.  This didn't amount to much loss of observing time.
*The instrument rotator had trouble turning during afternoon
checkout.  Jon Davis took a look at it and we found that exercising
the rotator alleviated the problem.  Jon will be looking into the
rotator bearing.  There were no problems with the rotator during the
night.
*The DIS slit camera didn't want to expose, although I could at least
talk to it.  I checked the cable from the controller to the camera and
found it was pinched in one spot.  I gave it a little slack and was
then able to take exposures.  So the slit camera is working, but this
cable may need to be replaced, as the outer insulation is cracked in
several places.
