                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Az Vel Scales: Was 580.0 Measured:  582.2, no change made
 The first attempt at homing the tertiary this afternoon, the clamp failed
 to engage. I homed it in rotation a second time and it engaged properly.
 Clear skies tonight with horrific seeing for most of first half. Seeing
 finally settled down to moderate levels around 23:00 and for the
 remainder of the night.
 No other problems.
