                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky
 I delayed opening due to conditions until around 20:50.  During that time
 we discovered a bug with NIC-FPS when it wrote fits files (new card in
 header).  IRAF complained and it wouldn't let us imexam the images.  We
 found a work-a-round by removing the EXTNAME card from the file using
 hedit.  This was a pain since we use imexam (r command) to focus, so it
 took a little longer than usual.
 Once we opened all we had no problems.
