                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 AzVelScales: Was: 586.0 Measured: 585.6, 587.9 avg 587.9 (no change)
 The first half observer asked that I handle the observations for the
 first few hours.
 During morning twilight Agile's icc computer crashed and required a
 reboot. Because of the recovery time the observer was unable to
 obtain sky flats. No downtime is counted during twilight hours.
