               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Humidity kept us closed until the last hour of the night.
 I was able to run 2 large closed dome pointing models, one
 at NA2 and one at NA1. Then after I opened I did a pointing
 model at NA2.
 I spent much of the rest of the night working on fastcam
 data reductions.
