                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 I was open and cooling quite early tonight however winds from the north
 and then from the east later in the night made seeing quite bad all night.
 Seeing did not go below 2.0 arcseconds for more than 20 minutes all evening.
 3.0 to 4.0 was more the norm for the evening.
 Otherwise, the night went smoothly.
