              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Snow started around 6:30 pm and continued throughout the night, with final
accumulation of about 4 inches.  I ran the snow program all night.  Once I
was confident that we wouldn't be able to open even if the weather
cleared, I changed instrument setups to do some cloudy night work with
DIS: characterization of the B1200 grating, a spectrograph focus check,
and reassessing the contamination on the red field flattener.
