              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Arctic wouldn't take a checkout exposure with the instcheck program, however it did take an image fine through the arctic expose window. The error it gave was:
arcset set bin=2,...failed:amps=quad may only be specified with a full window
JH03 was kind enough to donate 14 min to the NM04 program so they could finish an exposure.
Everything was beautiful tonight!  Well, seeing could have been better I guess, but it was photometric all night long.
