                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist 1st Half: Noel Camron Hastings
     Beautiful day, clear and cool. We opened to cool at 16:50 until
18:38 MDT when we closed for cals. We reopened at 19:10. All systems ran
smooth.
 Observing Specialist 2nd Half: Russet McMillan
 Second half was also very peaceful.  It started out with poor seeing,
 around 2 arcseconds, then improved to about 1 arcsecond later in the
 morning as the east wind got weaker.  In addition to the many targets
 observed, I was able to work on some improvements to the guider focus
 routines.

  used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is particles
  > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
