                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Because of a strong east wind and rapidly dropping temperatures
 we had rather horrific seeing conditions much of the night. The
 wind became calm around 0300 and the seeing improved greatly.
 No other problems tonight.
