                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Medium to heavy cloud cover most of the night with the lightest cover during
 first half. I did not see any evidence of the elongated images that was
 reported in last nights log. We were closed for clouds and rain by 01:30,
 we never had a chance of reopening.
