                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Noel Camron Hastings
      I opened the telescope under cloudy but clearing skies around 19:00
MDT. No problems encountered except for the fact that one of  the
enclosure louver switches was left in the 'off' instead of the 'auto'
position. The GRIM ICC failed MULTIPLE times tonight, email was sent to
Craig. Mostly old failures that are known troubles, just a *lot* more in
one night than I have seen before.
      The IRSC started failing (stalled) and I tried multiple methods of
restarting it. Although the camera was scanning the sky, all galileo
would tell me was that the scripts had shut down. I closed it up.
      I observed for the Lens Monitoring Program tonight with average
seeing and no technical problems, humidity rose right near end of night
and seeing degraded as wind shifted.

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