              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started with high thin clouds giving way to clear skies.  Winds were low and seeing was very good.
Ecam showed some vertical banding for a brief bit (image 1424).  Echelle also needed an extreme restart, not unlike last night. PR has been sent.
Weather was good all night, all programs got their full times.
