              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Some troubles with altitude drive during twilight.  Unable to move telescope.  Problem persisted throughout UW06's program.
Was resolved in time for the DD02 program.
Other than that weather was good with approx. 1" seeing.
In the bustle, did not get to test Tspec until the morning.
Ironically, images looked good.
Chip's students who were trained are the following:
H. Kobulnicky, W. Chick, D. Kasper, L. Jensen, J. Findley, J. Turner, D. Baldwin, S.Mapes, J. Sutter, D. Hand.
