              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Lost about a half hour to the ecam being hung.  Called Russet and Fritz,
who got it running again.
Otherwise, night was very productive with excellent seeing.  Flirted with
the springtime dust limit, and ran with the press fans on most of the
night.
