                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
 Clouds dissapated at sunset and the instrument was turned over to the
observer at 17:50 for cals and biases.  Opened enclosure at 18:30 with a
few passing scattered clouds.  Poor seeing (2.0-3.0 arc sec) at the start
of the night and very unstable making it difficult to find good focus.
Seeing improved considerable after 21:00 and was around 1 arc sec after
23:00.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings
    The second half started smoothly. Seeing was reasonable and
instrument ran smoothly.
