                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Nice evening. There was some confusion with the UT date displayed via REMARK
 on the Observers Mac. It kept switching +/- 1 hour in time throughout the
 night on its own. No time was really lost to this problem. At about 0440 the
 observer attempted to slew the telescope, I saw the command appear in the mc
 however about 5 minutes passed before the command was actually executed by
 the tcc.
