                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Loomis
No Report
2nd half observing specialist: Deglman
Chris Laws continued UW04 with the Echelle.  Had a problem when re-opening
the IDL monitor window.*  It took on the order of half an hour to "catch
up" with the evening's activities.  Noticed in some of the first slit
viewer images on a given object that the scope was still moving,
even though the computer indicated, (graphically and verbally) that it was
done.*  The movement went away after a few slit viewer frames (couple of
minutes).  Telescope was closed at 06:15.
                            OBSERVER COMMENTS
a beautiful night, very productive. minor amount of lost time due to
difficulties with guider (reported). give me weather like this tomorrow!
