              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Tspec is looking great!  Took 1500 darks.
GIFS is showing some strange structure in its biases.  It first shows up after GIFs was warmed two weeks ago. Russet says this is due to some electronic pickup noise.
SPICAM took biases during instrument checkout but when JH04 tried to take biases before their program started, the biases would not read out and produced 0 byt files.  The problem was resolved by physically restarting SPICAM via the toggle switch and restarting the ICC.  This problem may have been due to me hitting the umbilical of SPICAM when I moved GIFS out of the way when mounting DIS.
ARCSAT became non-responsive and I had to leave the 3.5m to do an emergency close before the Sun rose too high.  I was unable to completely fill GIFS as the dewar ran out as ARCSAT crashed.  An email was sent asking for the day staff to change the dewar and fill GIFS.
