                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
1st Half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Clear beautiful skies. Moderate to excellent seeing most of first half.
2nd Half Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
Decent seeing the remainder of the night. No problems. The observer ran
out of targets by 0600. I used the last 20 minutes of his time to do some
on sky tests with Xephem. I found there are still some fundamental problems
with the interface that need to be debugged. I sent a report to Matt Nelson.
