              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The NA2 guider found a whole cluster of non-existand things (noise) at Thresh 2.5 and would not find the actual star (which was bright enogh in the field).  I switched to Thresh 2.0, which ID the star but didn't select.  I manually selected it and used it to guide.  The background appeared very mottled tonight in the NA2 guider.
Dcamera hung once tonight.  Just needed to restart the hub to fix.
