              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The first science field had two stars, we weren't sure which was the object.
I adjusted the echelle pointing, it was off just a little.
04:5205UT ecam hung, needed to be reset.
I noticed some background fluctuations in the ecam images tonight.  It looked like thin clouds passing and raising and lowering the background levels in the image, It was perfectly clear though.  These were with 5 sec exposure times.  It didn't affect guiding. It was seen in many ecam images during the night.
