                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky
 Started cooling at 17:05 after the humidity dropped below closure limits.
 I opened around 17:45 after the first half observers finished their
 lamps with DIS.
 The instrument changeover occured a couple mins ahead of schedule and I
 had everything ready by 00:07 for the second half observer.  Nicole had a
 few computer problems with Remark on the NMSU end and I instructed
 her how to control the telescope via the MC, which seemed more reliable
 on their end.
 The seeing was decent at times tonight with measurements below 1 arc sec
 and then at other times going above 2.5 arc sec.
 At the end of the night the 2nd set of mirror covers would not respond
 (close) remotely,  I was able to close them manually though.
