              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Clear skies, mediocre seeing. Lots of moonlight--sometimes causing problems with the
echelle slitviewer. Large bright reflection showing up in some frames. Ex: ecam
files 2164 and 2160 show the same bright circle but in very different parts of the
sky.
Last full lunar eclipse until 2014...
