                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Due to very unsettled weather in the area I opted to keep the dome closed rather than risk
getting things wet.  We had a hurricane remnant to our south and very unstable weather all around
us all night.  I did in dome engineering tests all night.
Bill and I did some Agile scattered light tests.  Still some work to be done onthe correct
placement of the baffle (current location caused vignetting on the chip, once we got rid of the
stary light as seen using the pinhole).
I also took a lot of DIS linearity tests to fill the remainder of the night.
