                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
1st half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Nice clear skies again at sunset.
Observer reported that eveflat 8 3 failed with SPIcam. He did the flats
one at a time instead, then restarted spicam afterwards. We did not try
the eveflat command again. Other than that all ran smoothly. Moderate
seeing all 1st half.
2nd half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
Photometric skies second half. No problems, things ran smoothly.
