                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 00:35 MDT.  Opening was delayed by clouds
and rain.  The telescope was closed at 03:40 MDT, due to dust.  The
sky became mostly cloudy right afterwards.
Gene Magnier and Brooke Skelton were the observers for UW05.
Bernadette Rodgers was the observer for UW04.  Gene was essentially
clouded out.  Bernadette fared better.
*The azimuth axis failed to stop at the end of a slew during afternoon
checkout and again at the end of a slew during observations.  I
stopped the axis with an init.
