                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback, R.McMillan
 The first half of the night Russet spent taking gobs and gobs of Shack
 Hartman data to determine cooling curves and sag coefficent data.
 At around 02:00 she turned the telescope back over to me and I got
 throughput data with DIS. This is to help characterize the
 new blue prism throughput. The red camera is still unavailable due
 to continuing work, therefore throughput data was only on the blue.
 I emailed the image log directly to Jon Holtzman.
 The slitviewer camera and the blue camera are ever so slightly rotated
 with respect to the slit. There will be a a day crew today to work on
 those items. No other problems.
 Seeing was decent at the beginning of the night, then horrific within
 a few hours of opening towards the end of first half seeing settled
 into a moderate 1.5 arcsecond level for the rest of the night.
