              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Clear skies; good seeing first half, moderate second half.  The echelle
cal mirror continued to give some trouble, but in most cases was able to
reach position with multiple computer commands.  I only had to move it by
hand once, at the beginning of the night, losing no time.
