              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
I needed to restart the dcam nubs again tonight.  The slit was stuck on the 1.5 arc sec slit when we got on the sky, even though the 5 arc slit was in place.
At the start of the 2nd program, I again needed to restart the dcam Nubs to get it to now read the correct mask file (this time stuck on 5 arc sec slit mask).
I mounted GIFS at the end of the night for day testing.
I restarted the SPIcam darks at the end of the night.
