              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Huehnerhoff
Decent seeing first half turning into excellent seeing second half after
clouds dissipated.  Minor guider problems first half.
The echelle was used for the first hour of observations by UW06 observer.
ecam would crash after a seemingly random number of images.  Restarting
the Nubs seemed to recover but then ecam would crash again.  Restarting
slitty software did not seem to help and there was not enough time for a
complete Slitty reboot.  Error message:
02:23:36 APO.Joe.ecam 72 ecamera f text="sendCmd timed out: timed out"
02:23:36 APO.Joe 170 ecam f text="text=\"sendCmd timed out: timed out\""
