                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Everything ran smoothly tonight.  We got an updated instrument block for
 the visiting instrument (NAIC).  They noticed some motion in the X
 direction on the image but we attributed it to wind shake.  It went away
 (or became random) when the telescope was move in a different direction.
 There is no weather info for tonight becaus of a problem with the weather
 computer not wanting to accept a command to display the weather stats on
 Marmot.  PR was submitted.  It was patchy clouds to start the evening and
 then cleared and became photometric for the majority of the evening.
 Very successful 2nd half with me getting all the requested SN targets.
