              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden, J.Dembicky
When initially starting dcam, the slit was 5" but the mask was 1.5".  We went without the mask for most of the first part of the night, until dcam seemed to  be hung.  Did hub startNubs dcam and dcamera, after which the correct mask appeared.
Windy with bad seeing most of the night.  No clouds though.
