                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Clear all night, good seeing much of the time with some episodes of
 poor seeing when the wind shifted around.  Everything worked well.
 The first-half observer did notice poor tracking in the azimuth
 direction on some targets in the SW.  Guiding improved the tracking,
 so it was apparently a slow problem such as an imperfect pointing
 model, rather than drive oscillations.

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