              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We had some RTT critical alerts this afternoon.  I rebooted the tcc and this seemed to have taken care of the problem.  No problems with telescope slews or tracking.
On checkout NICFPS was not happy.  I got a failed to start nub nicfps: No route to host error when I tried to restart the Nub.  I also could not log into the NICFPS virtual machine.  I talked to Tracey about the problem and he is investigating.  We were not sure if NICFPS is now a virtual machine (indicated from the wiki) or still a physical machine (which was also not operational at this time).  Tracey will talk with Bill tomorrow morning about the machine since we don't need NICFPS for tonights observations.
ecam image 1823 had a large vertical streak.  The streaks were transient and did not affect guiding.
No problems otherwise.
