              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Tonight the dcamera showed the 1.5 arc sec slit mask when the 5 arc sec slit was in place.  Restarting dcam read the correct mask file in.
Cloudy for most of the first half of the night.  We finally opened around 00:40
We checked collimation with SPIcam at program change, things looked ok with collimation.
Needed to power cycle gcamera.  Became inop and Non-responsive to pings in the middle of observations. Approx 09:00UT.  Power cycling fixed problem.  No problems the remainder of the night.
Telescope seemed to recover fine from last nights events.
Restarted 900s SPIcam darks at the end of the night.
