                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
1st half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Mostly clear skies at sunset. Thin clouds moving through most of 1st half.
Seeing good to moderate. No problems to report.
2nd half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Observer noticed image elongation in 5 min spicam exposrues.  I looked at
the images and could also see elongation.  Appeared to be in the Az
direction.  Telescope was at AZ=-103.0 Alt=54.5.
Jeppe's mouse started acting funny, any movement over a slight push would
send the pointer to the left edge of the screen.  I had to restart my
Jeppe session to fix the problem.
Around 05:00 the keyboard started acting up (caps lock produced lower case
characters, number keypad didn't work, arrows didn't work).  Again I had
to log out and back into Jeppe to fix the problem.
No instrument or telescope problems.
