                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Overcast skies until 0300. Opened to reasonable seeing. I did collimation
 checks and a pointing model. No change was needed for collimation. The
 pointing model was borderline unacceptable. I did not implement it.  I sent
 the results to Russet to evaluate further. I used the cloudy time to fully
 test out the recently relocated and recabled fastcam. It now resides at TR2
 and can be remotely activated with the lamps controller.
