                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Weathered out tonight. Nearby radar returns and overcast skies
 all night.
 I exercised the altitude controller as requested by Fritz. I
 also took some additional pinhole data with Agile to help
 characterize scattered light at the TR2 port.
 Called it a night at 05:30.
