                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
19:20 closed due to high smoke levels.  No apparent source  but we have a NE wind and my guess is
it is coming from the fireplaces in Sunspot.  There also was a prescribed burn today N of
Alamogordo (Calico Peak)
DIS blue ion pump again running a little high (all night)
No telescope problems.  Primary should be CO2 cleaned today due to smoke event last night.
