               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist:    G.Saurage
Thin cirrus most of the night; mediocre seeing.
UT 06:40 - UC05 user was disconnected from TUI, when logged back on he reported not
being able to see that the DIS exposure gui was still exposing. My gui said his
exposure was still going and was counting down, his gave him an error: "object
failed... Aborted action.." which I did not see. He was using TUi 1.8.1. Since his
time was almost up I just told him when his exposure was finished and we did not try
to diagnose.
