              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
JH03 observers:  T.Marriage, T.Su, K.Hall
Night was mostly clear and productive.  We had a short time of high humidity and potential fog, but it passed without getting too dangerous.  The seeing was EXCELLENT before that wave of humidity came in, then it was highly variale, from 1.3 to 3".
Russet made a fairly significant change to pointing on NA2.
No other problems.
