              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Leslie volunteered some of her time in the beginning of her run for Guy
Stringfellow to observe a supernova. We got on sky at 19:59. It was a
last-minute addition, so I edited the night log to reflect this, but not
the schedule. Used ECHELLE at 20:30. CU08 finished at 20:50.
Closed at 02:45 because of high humidity. It never stabilized, so UW02
took cals and Hg ars. He called it at 05:15.
Mostly productive night, except for the weather. No technical problems.
