                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Loomis
The telescope was opened at 16:45 MST, under a clear sky.  I observed
for PU05, and Gordon Richards observed for UC07.  We had sub-arcsecond
seeing early in the evening, but this was spoiled by image motion due
to the telescope.  About half of the images taken for PU05 were
dumbbell shaped.
2nd half observing specialist: McMillan
Second half remained clear, with very stable weather and fairly good
seeing.
We did see some examples of doubled and smeared images on the DIS
slitviewer at times when no offset had been commanded.  Some variation
was noticeable in the PMSS voltage in all sectors, although most of it
was low enough that it might have been noise.
                            OBSERVER COMMENTS
J. Holtzman (NM04):
Things went smoothly with DIS second half. It would be nice to have a
working guide camera and a better slit viewing camera!
