                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Camron Hastings
Telescope was opened at 18:45 MST after the observers finished their
cals.  All computer and mechanical systems working fine.
2nd half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The seeing was poor for the first half of the night, but improved a
bit during the second half.  Wei Zheng's Macintosh hung a few times,
causing some delays.  Other than that, things ran smoothly.
                            OBSERVER COMMENTS
JH02 (Zheng): "It has been a smooth observation run, with seeing
improving with time until early morning. The position offset appears
to be not exact, with different results if moving from up or down
direction. Does it suggest a mechanical gap?"
