                               ACTIVITY LOG
The telescope was opened at 20:15 MDT, which allowed Xiao Hui Fan(PU02)
to take spectral cals before Hastings/Gloria (Turner, PU01) started on
the gravitational lens monitoring program. The skies were clear all
night, and the dust counts had dropped from the previous days. Seeing
was good, with the best being 0.92". The telescope was closed at 04:30.
			           OBSERVER COMMENTS
Hastings (PU01) - A good first night on the telescope (that we opened!).
No hardware or software problems. Too many cookies though....
Xiao Hui (PU02) - Perfect night, only one small problem. REMARK
displayed
"imaging" when in spectral mode, even when synced.
Obs Specialist Note: It was later determined that the remote station was
using an old version of REMARK (V2.39) while the control room is using
V2.41. These versions are not completely compatible. Any stations using
this, or any other, older version of REMARK than V2.41 should upgrade to
avoid such errors. Instructions for downloading the new version are on
the
APO website, under "REMARK".
