                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I opened the enclosure around 18:00 tonight to start cooling early.
 Craig was working on the beta Echelle TUI guider software so I let him
 control the telescope as long as possible.  We found some small bugs,
 Craig fixed on the spot, with the Echelle TUI controls.
 Swithced over to NICFPS at 01:00 and focused.  Excellent seeing at 0.57
 arc sec in Ks.
 No problems 2nd half.
