------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Huehnerhoff
During checkout had problems with the Echelle Slitviewer computer that
required a restart of the computer.  Turning the monitor for slitty on
only displayed the reds; problem most likely due to the cold temperature
or failing monitor.
It was cloudy all night with very high humidity.
As there was extra time due to the weather images were taken for the
NICFPS flat test.  They involved many flats and darks in different
filters.  The images have not been yet been reduced and analyzed.
Around 4:30 MST the DIS Red CCD Temp started to warm and the ion pump
current was very high.  After resetting the ion pump the current dropped
and the CCD started to cool again.  As of 7:00 MST the CCD is back to
operating temperature and function properly.
