                               ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
We had a frustrating evening of mostly cloudy to very murky skies.
Due to the cloudiness, I did not open the telescope.  Dan Zucker was
very patient.
2nd half observing specialist: Russet McMillan
Second half was also lost to clouds.
