                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist, 1st & 2nd Shift: Jack Dembicky
  The night started out with clouds and turned in to lt. rain all night
  long.  I did test slews with the telescope at startup (with slit
  and mirror covers closed) and everything seemed to be in working order.
  When I removed DIS from the telescope at the end of the night, the
  filter wheel door was open of which I closed.  Only biases and cals
  were taken by the observers tonight.
