              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
My first half observer was having problems with TUI auto-transfering his SPIcam images over for him.  He was using TUI 1.9.5 on MacOSX 10.6.8.  He just FTP'd them over to his machine manually.  My second half observer did not have any problem with auto-transfer of AGILE images (TUI 1.9.5 and Linux)
Dust levels rose during the last hour or so of observations, they peaked about 6K but we stayed open as humidity was around 50%.
