                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Russet McMillan
 The telescope was opened at sunset, and the GFP observed all of first
 half with very good seeing and almost no problems.  The only
 difficulty was our known tendency to get image jumps of 3-5
 arcseconds during focus updates; we minimized that by making updates
 only between exposures.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Camron Hastings
 Second half started with a cloud front and remained so for the
remainder
 of the night. We stayed open and attempted to image through it, but
 did not accomplish much.
