                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I opened the dome and started cooling around 16:20 tonight.
 Everything ran smoothly the first half.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist:
 Second half started out with widespread high clouds, which gradually
 thinned during the morning.  I took the last few minutes before and
 into twilight for some Shack-Hartmann measurements, although the
 seeing looked quite ugly on the video camera.  The telescope and
 instruments worked perfectly.
