                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 A lovely clear night with good, stable seeing throughout.
 Unfortunately, the GFP developed a serious electronic/readout
 problem when it was mounted, costing a large chunk out of the middle
 of the night until the observers gave up and switched to DIS for a
 backup program.  There were also some weird symptoms from the DIS
 slitviewer; its occasional background-changing tricks apparently
 upset the TUI guiding software.

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