              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    N.Ule
Had some problems with NICFPS rotating for the first part of the first run.
 Had to restart the software, got it running around 20:20.  The automated
nightlog script was broken, contacted Joe, got it fixed at about 20:15.
 User complained that the pointing appeared to be off by about 1/2 arcmin,
examination of some images seemed to confirm this.
Clouds caused problems starting around 23:00, cleared around 05:30.
