                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: Noel Camron Hastings
 I was moving slowly after a bad sprained ankle today, but I did open to
 allow cooling at 19:00 MDT. The skies were clear and weather very nice.
 All systems started up without problems and things ran smoothly.
 Dust levels rose steadily. I pushed the limit some hoping that they
 would drop, but eventually, even with reversing the fans and such, the
 levels rose so high I had to close. They remained there and we were
 unable to re-open. The observer decided that the remaining time left was
 not enough to use when we got within an hour of twilight and we shut down.

   used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
   particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
