                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: N.C.Hastings, J.Barentine
    John Barentine again performed the entire checkout and setup tonight,
opening the dome at 18:15 MDT to start cooling. No problems encountered. In
addition, I had John start operating the Echelle to get used to normal
procedures for focus and such. All went well despite bad seeing. Second half
the seeing went subarcsecond and stayed near 0.8" The second half
observations with SPIcam were some of the most productive I have seen, with
the observers logging more than 250 images!

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