                               ACTIVITY LOG
The telescope was not opened this evening due to high dust counts. The
counts
remained in the 3200-4000 range all night. Otherwise, the sky was clear,
but
high level of haze, probably due to fires in Mexico and Texas.
			           OBSERVER COMMENTS
No observing this evening. Potentially good night lost to dust!
