                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I started the cooling fans around 16:00 tonight and opened the enclosure
 at 17:45 under partly cloudy skies.  Russet came in for the first half
 to help the 1st set of observers with their observations of the moon.
 The skies rapidly clouded up after the enclosure opened but the 1st set
 of observers were at least able to find the moon with the DIS slit
 camera and try (in vain) for a spectra. The clouds grew thicker and by
 18:55 I decided that it was time to close the telescope since no science
 could be reasonably obtained anymore.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Russet McMillan
 Continued clouds all second half.
