                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Russet McMillan
 The telescope is closed for engineering work.  I did a little
 programming and some experiments with the echelle slitviewer, still
 trying to narrow down its sensitivity problems.
 I'm trying to keep track of the weather status in the time logs even
 though the telescope is closed.  There was rain before sunset and
 threatening clouds for several hours after sunset.  A little after
 2300, conditions improved enough that we could have opened, though
 there were still too many clouds coming and going for most useful
 on-sky work.

  used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is particles
