                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Reverted back to TUI 1.3a9 as the latest alpha version had a problem with
the NA2 guider image being displayed wrong (visual image was shifted maybe
1/2 way up the screen.  The ID circles correct but the stars displayed
1/2 a screen above the circles.)  This sounds exactly like what Gabrelle
described yesterday, which isn't suprising since the latest alpha
TUI version was what she had problems with.
Humidity closed us down around 23:40.
We probably had about a 40% failure rate on the DIS shutter at -9C.  That
went up to around 75% to 90% rate at -11C w/10sec exposures.
at 04:37 we got the shutter stuck really good (temp was around -11C)!!!
It took several exposures (and a few minutes) to finally get it unstuck.
