                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Nice night with decent seeing. The only problem encountered tonight was an
 unusal problem with the NA2 guider. A configuration file was not properly
 created at the beginning of the night and the guider would not properly
 write files to its directory. I fixed the problem after some time but since
 it did not interfer with science data no downtime was counted.
