                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: McMillan
The telescope was opened at 17:00 for cooling under nearly clear skies
with some very light cirrus.  Seeing was poor for PU05 with SPIcam,
probably in part because of the lack of a guider.  A few images were
slightly out of round, but there was no evidence of gross tracking
anomalies.  By the time we switched to the echelle, the telescope had
cooled and seeing was subarcsecond -- considerably better than what
DIMM was getting most of the time.
The telescope was mostly tracking well while the wind was very light,
but started to show some wobbling (from upper right to lower left on
the Mac view of the slitviewer while the telescope was pointing SSW)
around 22:30, around the same time that the wind increased.  Since the
wind was only moderate at worst ( 1 micron per 0.1 cu. ft.
                             TELESCOPE STATUS
Primary, secondary, and tertiary mirrors in place and collimated.
Primary support system operational.  Mirror ventilation system in
place.  Telescope drives operational.  Current Remark version: 2.55b5.
Current guide software version: GIm Ctrlv3.0b27.  Current TCC version
is 2.2.2.
