                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky
 We had clouds and too high of dust counts at the start of the
 evening.  The dust dropped below closure limits around 22:00 but the
 clouds persisted.
 Started dome cooling fans around 01:55 and the clouds moved away enought
 that I felt it safe to open at 02:30.
 Everything ran smooth as silk tonight.
