              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
During afternoon cals, we found that NICFPS counts were way low, and
appeared to be vignetting. Power-cycled the leach controller, and called
Fritz to get CPU back online. After an hour of troubleshooting, NICFPS was
back online and testing new guiding software for us.
No other problems. Productive night, with seeing between 1.5 and 0.9".
