                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Early evening both DIS blue and red ion pumps were trending warm. Blue side began
lower than red but they seem to be warming about the same rate, approx. 0.1 degrees
C every 15 minutes. They seemed to peak around 20:30 and then they both started
cooling back down. Since they warmed together and began cooling again as the ambient
temps cooled it seems to be environmental, not necessarily equipment failure.
Mostly clear skies. Fairly good seeing.
