              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: N.Ule
JH06 switched with PU03 a couple of days ago, this change was not updated in
the calendar but instrumentation for both groups was identical.  JH06 is now
scheduled for PU03 spot on 6-17.
Observers got on sky with no difficulties.  Sky was partly cloudy but
swiftly cleared up, dust briefly threatened but dome levels were always
acceptable.  First observer forgot to turn off Th lamp in the Echelle,
mistake was caught once nicfps was focused.
Apollo performed well.
