                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Az and Alt velocity scales unchanged.
 We had varying cirrus for most of the night, with the clearest skies
 in the middle of the night.  Seeing was good at the beginning of the
 night, degrading to moderate after a few hours.
 Second half, the observer had some trouble entering slew coordinates
 for some objects.  He got an error message about "ascii... could not
 encode" and the slew button never highlighted, nor did the
 az/alt/airmass calculations show up.  He was entering coordinates by
 hand, not from a catalog, and couldn't see any strange characters in
 the position or the object name.  The problem persisted when he
 deleted and re-entered the coordinates, but I was able to slew
 without difficulty.  It occurred again on the next target, then
 cleared up by itself.  I tried to help him find the tuilog.txt file
 on his machine in hopes that this would have more information, but
 we were not successful in locating the file.
