                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 16:45 MST.
The observers were Elizabeth Rizza and Tom Harrison (NM04), and Brooke
Skelton and Gene Magnier (UW15).
The sky was photometric until around 23:30 MST, when we began to get
cirrus.
There were no problems with the telescope or instruments during the
night.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Elizabeth Rizza (NM04) - "Everything went smoothly - we got 5 clusters
in B and R with the only problem being the change in focus during the
night."
(I forgot to ask Gene and Brooke for comments)
