                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 No Problems tonight other than a hiccup with SPIcam at the end of the
 night (see below).
 SBS1520.u.0084.fits did not read out correctly (SPIcam timed out!).  I
 restarted the sequence (and stopped it when I had enough images).  The
 dither may be off.  Everything looked fine when I took the next exposure
 after the timeout.
