                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Overcast skies again for the start of the night. The clouds thinned enough
 by 2230 that we could open. The remainder of the night went by smoothly.
 There was a potential problem with the etalon controller second half that the
 observers were going to try to better understand in the afternoon before
 tomorrow nights run. There were no other problems. Seeing was excellent at
 the beginning of the night, becoming moderate after midnight.
