                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Russet McMillan
 Threatening clouds at sunset kept us closed until a little past
 twilight.  Once we opened, everything went smoothly.  We had
 occasional clouds never really thick enough to impede science, and
 good seeing (0.9-1.3 arcseconds on the slitviewer, 0.7-1.2 on the
 guider).  Helicopters buzzed around the observatory for several hours
 as if looking for something, but fortunately they weren't using
 floodlights.  Some of them showed up as blips and streaks on the
 cloudcam.

  used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is particles
  > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
