                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 About 12 inches of white fluffy stuff total.  No chance of opening
 tonight as we had ice on the 3.5m enclosure and the lightning rods on the
 top of the dome were encased in ice. We also had blowing snow off the
 ground and trees so there was just too much risk in opening the enclosure
 tonight.
 Craig had SPIcam back for testing tonight.  I tried it out and things
 seemed to be working (except for Bills Lens creation script, but I know
 he was working on that, it wouldn't execute to create scripts).  It
 seemed to take images (biases) and was able to make offsets to the
 telescope (using a previously created Lens script).
 Telescope was parked due S and the roof heaters turned on when I left.

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