                               ACTIVITY LOG
The telescope was not open tonight until 00:30 due to high winds and high
dust counts.
Alan Dierks was the observer for the Gamma Ray Burst which preempted the other
programs for the evening.
Comments:Except for the guider, everything worked fine.
The GUIDER would not communicate with the TCC.  I cycled the power, restarted
the MAC, but I could not get the GUIDER to show a gcam status or do a gcam
doread.
The TCC seemed to be having slow communication problems all evening, and we
kept having to quit and restart the TCC connection.  By the end of the
evening, I tried running a telstop and then telrun, and there was no
communication to initialize or to slew the telescope.  I tried a system
reboot, but this did not seem to help.  Also galileo seems to have died.
I spent all the PU01 time trying to rectify the problems.
