              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Clear all night with excellent seeing.  Everything worked well (the
echelle lamp problem from last night was a filter wheel misalignment) and
the night was very productive.
Over the last few days we've played host to 13 untrained student observers
accompanied by three previously trained observers.  Although this was not
entirely without problems, the time was very well and efficiently spent.
