                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialists: J. Dembicky
 GCFocus value was not updating in TUI status window. PR Submitted
 NA2 guider seemed to be working again (bin 3) and the NA2 guider focus
 script was also happy tonight with Bin 3.  I didn't get a chance to try a
 pointing correction, which had problems last night with the binning
 issue, but I suspect it now works correctly again.
 Clouds rolled in around 23:00 and closed us down around 00:20.  We never
 re-opened.
 I left the instrument mounted with the eyelid open for daytime darks for
 my observers.
