              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
There was a strange readout with ecam; half of it was reading out fine and the other half was hardly reading any counts.  See image proc-e0001 and 0002.  After a hub restart it was fine.
Dataq had to be restarted from tron.
I remade the slit masks for dcam.  I tested the spare shutter that Bill installed and, so far, everything looks good!
We finally got snow!  Yay!  However, even though it snowed all night (and is still snowing), there's only about an inch of new accumulation. Things were pretty windy tonight and I didn't feel comfortable running the snow program while I went to bed so I parked the telescope south.
---------
Apologies, I didn't write "I Feel Pretty" tonight. I about had a panic attack when I realized I hadn't finished some PDS tasks for the director!  It was all spacecraft data all night.
