                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Clouds until 0230. Bad seeing all night. Topped with a dash of paranoia about
 echelle slitviewer (everytime the observers would mention it I could feel a
 chill up my spine). However, there were really no equipment problems with the
 echelle slit viewer, all the problems focusing and guiding could be attributed
 to the 3 to 5 arcsecond seeing most of the night and the clouds all of first
 half.
