                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
 Sky was very cloudy tonight although satellite looked good. We
 remained closed until sky was somewhat promising. We did run fans
 and have louvers open to help cool. We finally opened at 18:30 MST.
 Observed for a while when clouds moved in again and I closed. Later
 I opened again with much improved seeing and mostly clear skies.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Russet McMillan
 The telescope was closed shortly after I arrived due to rising
 humidity.  It leveled off right near the limit for a while, then
 slowly improved.  I re-opened in time for the first half observer to
 get one more target.  Second half started out clear with fairly good
 seeing, then some clouds appeared after 1:00 The clouds became
 thick and threatening later in the morning, and the telescope was
 closed at 5:00.
