              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Lost about 2 hours to the echelle slitviewer slit being stuck closed.  Called Joe, who
came in and fixed it.  Problem started around 21:55 and we were back on sky at 23:45.
Otherwise, night was uneventful and productive.  Clear skies, seeing was extremely good
(0.6!) up to 1.0".
