                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Opened as soon as the observer finished his cals. Seeing fluctuated greatly
 throughout the night. After the instrument change this morning the
 observations for PU04 ran too late into twilight and I was unable to get
 flats.
