                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was not opened due to weather conditions (mainly high
humidity).
The Turner program, PU01, was clouded out.  The sky cleared, but the
air cooled off quite a bit, so humidity became a problem.  Rhodri
Evans was the remote observer for UC03, but the high humidity
prevented him from observing.
Bernadette Rodger was the observer for UW05.  The humidity remained
quite high all night, which kept Bernadette from observing as well.
