              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had a pretty successful night despite high clouds during the middle portion.  The altitude drive problems appear to be behind us, and behavior was much improved tonight.
With the visiting instrument we got a fresh instrument block, some science, and some windshake data (which I counted as EN01).  Other engineering included Shack-Hartmann collimation and a pointing model, which also served as lots of slew tests.  Testing continues for the next TUI update as well.
