                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist, 1st Half: Frank Deglman
Had problems starting the cloud camera.
Did accelerometer tests on DIS, the 3.5m mirror cell and the mirror
itself.
Did not open due to weather.
Observing Specialist, 2nd Half: Camron Hastings
     Worked briefly with Jeff Morgan taking accelerometer data on the
telescope cone. Other than that, weather kept us closed up. No
Shack-Hartmann data was taken or sky work at all.
