                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Noel Camron Hastings
     Rain and lightning delayed our opening tonight until 22:15 MDT. Upon
opening under partly cloudy skies all ran well. The clouds immediately
sensed that the dome had opened and moved in and for a while we tried to
shoot through drifting cumulus until I decided the rain danger from the
north was too great and I again closed. We did get one good target in sub
arcsecond seeing before I had to close again.
     We opened again at 03:00 under very questionable skies to try and
test the FTS. We got one image of a star dead center on the chip so we
decided to skip any instrument block since the instrument was pointing
well. Of course, the clouds quickly closed in again. We tried a few
through the clouds to no avail, so I closed up for the night.

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