                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 The first half observer was a no-show.  No response to email, no
 answer at the phone number provided in the proposal, no answer from
 collaborator's home number.  This was especially frustrating since
 the first half grating request was non-standard and also
 incompatible with the second half grating request; I wasn't sure
 what gratings to load.  I couldn't reach the NM scheduler, so when
 twilight ended I gave the time to another NM program (NM10), whose
 collaborators I was able to reach.  This program got started late
 because of the grating confusion, but went well once we got going.
 Skies were essentially clear all night, photometric most of the
 time.  Seeing was good to moderate first half, puffed up over 2
 arcseconds around 2 am, then dropped back to about an arcsecond for
 the remainder of the morning.

     used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
     particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
