                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Clouds and some much needed (although not for the observers) rain all night long.
 Measured and remounted SPIcam 3" filters in the existing filter wheels for Nick.
 Cleaned 3 of the NA2 guider filters (H2O alone worked very well to clean them with, as there was
just a thick coating of dust on them).  The clear, R and I (I think) filters were cleaned
tonight.
 Took Agile preclear data for slow and fast readout rates.  Will reduce  the data later.
