                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Opened the telescope around 19:00 tonight.  I focused the telescope
 around 20:40 with around 0.9 arc sec seeing and pointing was pretty good.
 We switched over to NICFPS for the 2nd half a few mins early.  Seeing was
 excellent, and stayed that way thru the night, at 0.7 arc sec in Ks and
 was below 0.6 arc when I checked around 03:00.
 No problems tonight.
