                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Opened and started cooling well before sunset. The new Echelle Guider Mac
 froze up and needed to be restarted at 23:15. This did not affect the observers
 exposure and so no downtime was counted for recovering from this problem.
 R.McMillan was onsite for all of first half to make sure this new instrument
 didnt have problems that lost lots of time. Thanks Russet!
 Second half went smoothly.
