              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
2nd observer gave a few minutes to the first observer as he needed to attend to something.
One of my remote observers reported getting disconnected from TUI tonight.  I had no issues.
No problems with the telescope and excellent seeing.  I measured 0.59 arc sec with the Echelle!
