                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
Mostly cloudy night with cirrus of varying thickness broken by short
periods of time with clear skies. No problems until 03:53 when the disk
/export/images filled up and we lost all TUI connectivity. I tried
to locate the source of the problem myself but after 10 minutes felt
it best to call Fritz. He located the problem, fixed it and called us
back. We were back on the sky in 30 minutes. No other problems.
