               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J. Coughlin
 Had overcast thick clouds with constant radar returns all night. Some
 rain. Never opened.
 Attempted to locate spicam pinhole images in engineering archived data
 with no success. I put the pinhole in Agile and took a few flats at a
 random rotation with a random filter. Images possibly appear better
 than the last tests since improvements to TR2 port. Will take more
 pinhole tests tomorrow with the rotator enabled. Left tertiary at TR2,
 pinhole in Agile, and telescope at high alt for Agile access.
