                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Clear skies with moderate seeing conditions all night. Conditions were also
 quite a bit warmer than last night as well. The 'problem of the night'
 happened to be the echelle slitviewer. It experienced repeated crashes
 after 02:45 due to the old could not read the temperature sensor error.
