              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Beautiful photometric weather all night.  Only moderate seeing, but you
can't have everything.
The telescope and instruments in use worked perfectly, but I did have some
work to do on problems with other instruments and computers.  SPIcam is
looking well so far after its ion pump replacement.  Agile is working but
we had some trouble with its rotator which will have to be addressed
during the day.
