                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st & 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
     Dome was opened at 16:30 this afternoon. Worked on SPIcam flats with
a new 'eveflat' script to add rotations to help average out the scattered
light effects. Had a SPIcam crash and had to hard reboot, but all was
fine after that.
     The first focus images with SPIcam were promising, and we obtained
good lens data even though we had a low throughput due to cirrus.
     The second program started without incident and although seeing was
variable at times, we got a lot of good data. Smooth all night.
