                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
 Opened enclosure for cooling at 17:00, exhaust fans had been running
 since the afternoon when the enclosure was opened (~15:00) for the
 APO Holiday photo.  I closed the enclosure around 16:00 to do my test
 slews with the telescope while the sun was still above the horizon.
 The telescope was turned over to UW08 at 18:54.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
     Everything was running smoothly when I got here and remained that
way for the rest of the evening. The cirrus moved in late, making the
observing impossible for the UW team. Up until then they obtained a lot
of useful data it seems.
