              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Looks like the pine trees were getting their grove on tonight.  I guess it is that time of year.  We could see pollen on the car windshields.
The Echelle filter wheel was messed up at the start of the 2nd program.  ND4 was actually clear.
We had a definate smell of smoke this morning.  Not sure the origin, maybe a fire buring to our west?  SDSS observers first noticed it and said it looked like smoke in the basin as well.  No fire seen, just smell of smoke.
My ARCSAT user must have fell asleep this morning, ARCSAT closed automatically when I close the 3.5m this morning (just before sunrise).
