              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Again, The dis mask did not properly switch when I changed from the 5 arc sec to 1.5 arc sec slit (actually, empty to 1.5).  Again, simply restarting the nubs for dcam fixed the problem.
No other problems.
A nice clear night and the seeing improved during the 2nd half as well.
