                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 The night went smoothly. Seeing was good. Thin cirrus and a westerly wind
 both helped the conditions.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Aside from some confusion about exactly which grating set the
 observer wanted, which caused a brief delay at midnight, everything
 went very well.  Seeing was good or very good and stable.  Clouds
 gradually decreased over the course of the morning.  A faint aurora
 was seen around 0230.
