                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Tonight marks 10 years for me here at APO.  Oh! The Places You'll Go.
We had about an arc second jump (06:40MDT, see DIS slit images 715 - 716).  Alt was around 80.6
deg but I didn't see anything slip on the guide monitor, Status window or the Dataq T cell, which
looked fine as well.  Observer re-centered as they had just started an exposure.
No telescope problems except for the jump noted above.
