              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
The night was beautiful and clear, with great seeing.
DIS focus turned out to be fine, and needed no adjustment.
Triplespec behaved much the same as last night--started out good, but was bad by the end of the night.
ARCTIC was very productive.  We took a series of images on standards to map S/N, along with some pretty pictures.  We did all of this in the narrow band filters.
