                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 20:25 MDT.  Opening was delayed by
clouds.  It was closed at 21:35, due to clouds and reopened at 02:00
MDT.
Susan Trammell and Andrew Dimeo were the observers for UC06.  Most of
their run was clouded out.  They observed a standard star but didn't
get to observe their science targets.
Joni Johnson was the observer for NM09.  She was completely clouded
out.
Dan Zucker and Paul Hodge were the observers for UW13.  The clouds
cleared off part way through their time.  They lost 25 minutes due to
TCC35M crashing (all the way down to the boot prompt).  Other than
that, their run was fairly productive.  They used the guide camera
during their long integrations.  This was very successful.  The new
guide camera has been able to find guide stars in any random field (no
making charts and rotating to acquire a guide star).

used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees. The dust count is particles
> 1 micron per 0.1 cu. ft.
