              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
As expected, a large adjustment to Agile pointing was needed at the start
of the night; this took just a few minutes and we were ready to go even
before the sky was dark enough for science, so no time was lost.  All
science instruments have had  pointing updated since the trouble last
week, and we hope they will remain stable until the engineering near the
end of the month.
After that, the night was peaceful and near-perfect, with photometric
skies and subarcsecond seeing.
