                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: N. Ule
 First half began with some difficulties with the echelle slit-viewer
camera.  The guider had difficulty with an oversaturated target and
would briefly become non-responsive.  Problems continued when the filter
was changed and exposure time dropped.  Guider became responsive after
restarting the ecam.  Rest of observing was fine with brief period of
poor seeing caused by patchy clouds.
 In the second half there was a similar problem with the NA2 guider,
where the camera appeared to stop functioning.  Again, the problem
appears to have been resolved by restarting gcam.  Due to this there
is no record of gcam images proc-g1260-1264, this occurred at local
time 03:30.  Remainder of the night proceeded smoothly.
