                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 22:55 MST.  Opening was delayed by clouds
and high humidity.  Humidity (alone, this time) forced me to close
again at 01:00 MST.  I was able to reopen at 03:40 MST.
The observers were myself for PU01, Paula Szkody for UW05, and Connie
Rockosi for UC01.  I was clouded out, and Paula was clouded out of
most of her time.  Connie lost a couple hours due to high humidity.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Paula: "once it cleared, I obtained one hour of good data which will
let me detect a 16 min period if its there but not the orbital"
Connie: "the new SPIcam drift scanning code seemed to work fine.  seeing
deteriorated after we reopened.  network was pleasantly fast.  karen
was incredibly helpful, as always."
