                              ACTIVITY LOG
(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The telescope was opened at 18:10 MST.  No problems to report.
Xiaohui Fan and Michael Strauss observed for PU01.  Some high clouds
began to move in around 21:30 MST.
2nd half observing specialist: Russet McMillan
Cloud started thickening after midnight, and by the time we had slewed
to the first object for WS01, it was pretty much impossible to get
useful data.  The telescope was closed due to clouds at 01:45.
