               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J. Coughlin
Had heavy clouds, high humidity, and rain all night and swamped by radar
returns. Never opened. Observers took cals.
I spent the night getting pinhole images with Agile and Spicam. After
several agile rotator slews, I started getting servo-errors and could
not recover. See PR #1005. Agile rotator is currently unoperational
until fixed.
I took the pinhole out of Agile. Currently filter wheel #3 is in spicam,
(with one slot occupied by the 3" pinhole 'filter'), and wheel #2 is in
Agile.
The replacement DIS blue ion pump seems to be working well - temp has
been holding at -95 all night.
