              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Tonight was a night of guiders.
Ecam had several hangups, which happened silently.  So unless we watched very closely, the users or I didn't know it had stopped updating.  This was fixed each time with starting the nubs and ecam init.  Once it required turning the camera off/on from the terminal.  PR was submitted.
Alternating dcam streaks (1 sec) started at d0046.  The streaks went away after the first field, with a few exceptions.  They came back at d0888 (1 sec).
Tspec was happy tonight.
Night was mostly clear, with variable seeing.  Overall productive.
