                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 1st Shift: Jack Dembicky
 Opened enclosure at 17:10 under clear and cold skies.  Everything ran
 smoothly with great seeing.  The time scheduled for PU04 at the
 beginning of the night was not usable due to SPIcam being spread
 across several states; in the absence of instructions from Ed, UC04
 was allowed to start early instead.
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Russet McMillan
 Seeing was excellent for the narrowband IR imaging during second
 half, but a bright moon and gradually increasing clouds made
 observations futile after 04:30, so we closed a little early.
