              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Clear but hazy. Poor seeing most of the night, possibly due to the fire across the
basin in the Oregon Mountains.
While slewing to park position at close the telescope was ringing again. This time
actually during the slew (with DIS mounted, mirror covers open). The ringing
continued  once parked and through axis stop. Only ceased with an E-stop.
SPICAM temps:
19:00 177.3
05:30 170.5
