                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Had problem with DISslit (another process had it locked).  Called Fritz
 to fix the problem since all the magical incantations that I knew didn't
 work.
 Clouds and rain (heavy at times) during most all of the first half.  2nd
 Half had a heavy rainstorm come thru around 1AM but then the clouds
 started to move out.  By 03:00 the humidity was starting to drop and the
 clouds were also disappearing.  We opened around 03:20.
 SPIcam temp at end of night 177.3K
