                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Overcast skies all night. The local elctrical utility had a substation
 problem this afternoon. We were on generator power for approximately
 4 hours. This resulted in several problems with the enclosure controller
 during afternoon checkout. The amplifier would drop out and the dome
 would collide with the telescope. After a few of these occurances I
 gave up on test slews. No other problems.
