              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Cirrus first half thinning out into second half. Great seeing.
At ~03:30 echelle slitviewer seemed to be having trouble finding stars. No errors
anywhere, everything *seemed* to be happy. Multple locations with bright stars
produced the same slitviewer image. I suspected software problem at first. Restarted
ecam, nubs, init - nothing. Looked in the instrument, nothing (like eyelids,
tertiary, or the cal mirror) was blocking the light path. Switching to lamps with
quartz on, sliviewer looked about the same. Called Bill. At this point we suspect
the shutter is stuck. Could not fix in last hour remaining of the night. PR#1329
