                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 This afternoon the on loan replacement hardware for Agile arrived
 and was mounted to the telescope. We determined that pointing and
 orientation was close enough that a new instrument block would
 not be productive tonight. Things went rather well first half and
 the instrument was able to obtain useful data. Seeing was quite
 good and sub arcsecond for much of first half and into second half.
 Clouds came and went all night. Second half went smoothly. The guider
 required a power rest between halfs. No other problems.
