                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st & 2nd shift: Noel Camron Hastings
    I opened the dome at 19:15 MDT for cooling. First program started on
time without any problems. Craig worked on the slit view camera today
and it seems to be better, no failures.
    I tried to start DIMM at around 20:20 MDT and could not get the
telescope to move. Multiple attempts to deal with it resulted in
nothing, could not spend any more time on it, so closed it up. Sent
email to Armin about this.
    Second half started smoothly with exceptional seeing in the 0.75"
range. Telescope was pointing and tracking well and instruments behaved
normally.
