                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Jack Dembicky
Turned on the enclosure fans at around 19:30 and opened the enclosure at
19:45 under partly cloudy skies and windy conditions.  Seeing was around
1.2 arc sec in r' when we focused SPIcam.
Clouds thickened again around 23:00 to cause us to close. We re-opened at
03:55.  The humidity just hit the closure limits at the end of the
night.
