                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Moderate to high winds from the east at sun set resulted in rather
 poor seeing for the first half of the night. Second half seeing calmed
 to moderate seeing. I was able to get some quick out of focus donuts
 with spicam at the start of the night and verified that collimation
 looks good.
 No other problems.
