                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 First half we remained closed for winds, thundershowers and high humidity
 conditions.
 Second half we opened shortly before 00:45 to focus and check pointing.
 The sky became mostly clear for the remainder of the night, photons were
 collected, no problems to report.
