                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 J. Barentine helped with checkout today and did the calibrations for DIS
 early in the afternoon for some tests he was working on.  We opened the
 enclosure around 16:00.
 The observers started taking biases around 17:45. I closed the telescope
 to allow them to do their lamp cals around 18:10 and re-opened around
 18:41.  We had some glitches with Remark 2.82 crashing at APO so tonight
 we are running 2.80b (the official version).  No observation time was
 lost due to these glitches on our end and it did not affect the users
 Remark.
 I focused around 18:40 with seeing variable around 1.2-1.4 arc sec.
 I rechecked focus around 21:40 when it looked like we were drifting, I
 got a couple decent 1.2 arc sec images and then the seeing blew up to
 around 1.4-1.6 arc sec while I was just finishing focus. From the guider
 over the next hour the seeing jumped around and then settled back down
 around 1.0 arc sec for the remainder of the first half.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half was peaceful, with passing high clouds and variable
 seeing ( 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
