                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Clouds and rain in the afternoon, but they dissapated during evening
 twilight.  I decided it was safe enough to open around 19:45.
 The Echelle slitviewer camera quit taking exposures somewhere between
 20:35 and 20:50.  The observer noticed that the counts were small and
 then that the slitview images didn't seem to be updating.  A reboot of
 the Echelle Slitview Mac solved the problem.  This is the same problem we
 had encountered with the new slitviewer before shutdown.
 The observers computer locked up around 02:40, otherwise it was a
 fairly uneventful night.

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