				      ACTIVITY LOG
	We opened tonight at 20:30, and began focusing DIS off of the slit
camera. The sky cleared for a bit, but then the dew point diff suddenly
dropped, so we closed again at 21:30. One funny occurrence during the
focus and standard star integrations. At ~21:05, the telescope jumped
37" in x only, y was untouched. After this jump, all was well until we
closed though, at 21:30.
	At 01:28 I saw a very large and brilliant meteor. It ran from the
south/zenith part of the sky into the northwest. Just thought I would
mention it in case someone knows what it was, if it was anything other
than a rock...
