                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Jack Dembicky
 Clouds prevented opening during first half until 22:40.  Focused the
instrument with seeing around 2.20 in J and improved by midnight to 1.2
arc sec.
The observer slewed the telescope to 89 deg altitude before I could stop
it.  I checked the JDavis machine and saw only a slight oscillation on
all 3 sectors when moved to a lower alt.  Then took a test image and
things looked ok.  Then I scolded the observer for doing such a dastardly
thing, it seems to be becoming common place for observers to try slewing
the telescope above 85 deg altitude (this is the 5th observer I have
warned about this in the past few weeks).
Clouds moved in at 01:00 and prevented any further observations for the
night.  A few light sprinkles around 02:00-03:00.
