                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Clouds started to form above the site around 9pm. By 9:30 we were not
 getting any useful data. Seocnd half the clouds thinned a bit so that
 some echelle observations could be done.  No problems to report.
