              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
During Agile observing, we noticed a shadow on the right of every image.
It looked like a physicaly block, and was apparent to some extent in every
image.  Binned, unbinned, long or short exposures, filters- it didn't
matter. It was always there. I verified that the eyelid was completely
open, and the dark filter was completely pulled out. We could not figure
out what it was, so Anjum continued her science and decided to work around
the obstruction.
The IR camera has been acting funny. Flickering and spazing out like a
clip in a B-horror film. Not sure why this is.
Other than that no problems.
