                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Started cooling fans running around 15:45.  Opened the enclosure at 18:10
 and focused.  Seeing started out around 1.2 arc sec and grew worse
 to over 2 arc sec until around 22:00.  It  then improved back to around 1
 arc sec.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half had thin clouds and high winds.  Seeing was generally
 poor, with a strong dependence on telescope pointing vs. wind
 direction.  The gusts crept over the limit a couple of times, but
 weren't very consistent.  We remained open until some stronger gusts
 came through at 04:30, and repeated gusts kept us closed for the rest
 of the morning.
