                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Russet McMillan
 The night was partly cloudy.  We started out with more guider trouble
 for half an hour, then decided to work without the guider.  We got a
 little good data, but nothing useful after 21:45 due to clouds.  The
 dome was closed, then re-opened at 01:05.  Again, we got a little
 science, but no useful data after 02:15.  The dome was closed, and I
 declared the night over at 04:50.
