                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Closed all night. We got about 5" of snow during first half. Ran closed-dome
pointing models most of the night. With almost every slew TUI status reported the
warning "Last fiducial error too large" on Az.
While taking flats the first half observer noticed this warning in the TSPEC expose
window: object tim... finished; warning: debug="newstate:\"done\",0.00,0.00"
Images were fine.
