              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: N.Ule
Night started well enough, but had some difficulty locating HR1544 for
program DD04.
Next observer complained about the pointing while using the echelle
slitviewer.  Targets were on the edge of the slitviewer and sometimes
difficult to find.  Apparently the TertPoint script does not work for NA1.
Ecam was down from 22:37 to 23:58, but we managed to get it running again
and updated the wiki.
More pointing issues kept this observer off until 00:18.
Observing was fine afterward.
