------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Huehnerhoff
Mostly cloudy the entire night with decent seeing.
At 01:49 UT the ECHELLE guider stopped.  Restarting Nubs did not help.
Trying to VNC into Slitty was unsuccessful.  The monitor on the
intermediate level for Slitty could not recognize a signal until the
computer was restarted.  Restarting the computer solved the problem.
The rest of the night went without problems.
