                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialists: J. Dembicky
  Az Velicity Scale measured 581.0 was 580.0 No Change
  After tracking one object for most of the night I had a large
  magna-sensor error in Altitude when we slewed to another object.  Errors
  were at 29.8 (-13.2'), 29.3 (13.34'), and 44.3(13.44') consecutively.  I
  did a couple slews to clear the errors.
  A VERY successful night for the GFP.  Those folks were very pleased with
  their results from the 3.5m tonight.
  Clouds most of 2nd half but things cleared out a bit as the night came
  to a close.  We were open for most of the 2nd half, even though there
  were quite a few clouds.
