                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
NM10 swapped/donated (not sure but it was pre-arranged)  time with UC05 tonight to get an
important  setting target.
07:30UT my TSPEC slitviewer images would not update (although I could see the progrss bar taking
images, the image number stayed the same like it was on hold).  I could look at previous images
but nothing after image 317.  My remote observers did not see this and their screen was updating
correctly.  I used the arrow keys to scroll to previous images, and then scrolled forward and that
fixed the problem (although I thought I did that same thing earlier, maybe not).
No other problems tonight.
