                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky
I finished checkout around 17:45 and kept the enclosure closed (fans on)
waiting for tonights observers to show up to take their lamps.  They logged
in around 18:30 and started taking lamps about 10 mins later (their Xlamps
would not work so I had them use MCNode to control the lamps). I opened at
19:05 and did a instrument focus for the observers to get them on their way.
Clouds finally became thick enough to stop observations around 22:30.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
   Second half started with clouds that thinned a bit as the night went on
and allowed for observations. The seeing was stable and good, no problems
encountered and pointing was also good.
