              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Homed the DIS turret tonight.  Gratings were off several steps during checkout for some reason, even though the instrument has not been taken off the telescope.  Homing things fixed the problem.
Clouds kept us closed for the first two programs, although we fought clouds all night long once we were able to open.
