              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Clear skies first half, very thin clouds second half, and variable seeing.
 During first half we did some more testing of the new guide software, but
switched back to the old software for the more demanding second-half
program.
Because of the clear skies, the first observer got through his target list
sooner than expected.  I found another program that was able to make use
of 1 hour at short notice and still let me continue the guider testing.
