              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Photometric night, good seeing.
During instrument switch the telescope was ringing again. It was parked at Az -77,
Alt 70 with axes still on. Axis stop did not stop the ringing. During the ringing
the Dataq does not look dramatically disturbed. It's barely a perceptible
disturbance.
