                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 NA2 guider worked fine all first half, second half it froze up twice in
 the first 30 mins of usage.  Observer decided not to use guider since his
 exposures were 120s.
 Guider crashed several more times during the 2nd half of the night.  At
 least it was a quick fix but a bit annoying.  Seeing was very poor
 tonight so the guider didn't make much of a difference actually.
