                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Deglman
The telescope was not opened on schedule, but at 18:55 under a mostly
cloudy sky.  NM03 was performed with Grim.  The skies eventually cleared
and DIMM was started.  Cirrus from about 21:00 on.
2nd half observing specialist: Loomis
We had cirrus most of the 2nd half of the night.  Don York observed
for UC03, with the Echelle.  The MC hung twice, near the beginning of
his run.  Both hangs appear to have been related to use of the Echelle
slit viewer control panel in Remark.
We had some intermittent image motion (of a few arcsec), similar to
what has been reported in previous logs this month.
