                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
    I opened late at 19:00 after cloudy skies and a spattering of rain kept
us closed earlier. Winds were high, seeing moderate. There was a glitch in
the weather data software that Craig fixed for me without any trouble. All
else ran smoothly. Clouds thickened up again around 21:30 and made observing
impossible by 23:00
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Jack Dembicky
Clouds were overhead when I arrived around 23:00. The humidity went over
the closure limit around 00:30. High Humidity kept us closed for the rest
of the night.
