               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
   I opened the dome at 16:30 to begin cooling under clear but breezy skies.
All systems checked out fine, mirror covers were operating normally tonight.
I did find that the NA1 eyelid was set to open when I turned back to AUTO
from MANUAL and this may have interfered with the cover operations last
night.
   The lens monitoring program went well although with moderately poor
seeing under photometric skies. Switchover went smoothly and the next
program ran well for the remainder of my shift.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky
Everything ran smoothly from APO's end tonight.  The 2nd half observer did
have some internet connection problems around 03:30-04:20 and couldn't not
seem to get a reliable Remark connection at that time.  The problem seemed
to be on their end since everything was working fine from APO.
The original night log seems to have been deleted before it was sent
somehow (I could have swore I sent it as I remember writing it).  This is
one that I revised from memory and what Camron sent me for the first half.
