                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Tonight was clear, with moderate to poor seeing.  Everything behaved
 reasonably well; NICFPS images were 0 at start, but cleared with a
 single "nicfps expose init".  DIS slitviewer shutter gave a little
 trouble at start, but was fine after being exercised a little.  One
 very minor problem cropped up involving indexing of the latest
 slitviewer image.
 During second half, the seeing continued poor for several hours and
 then improved sometime around 03:30.  Wind gusts just reached the
 closure limit a few times, but didn't persist; image quality and
 dataq said the telescope was fine, so I stayed open.  For one series
 of strong winds I did ask the observer to move to a target at a
 different azimuth, and that worked fine.
