                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: W. Ketzeback, J. Dembicky
Overcast skies that led to heavy rainfall at sunset. When attempting test
slews at the beginning of the evening the telescope moved in azimuth but
not altitude. Further investigation resulted in finding the circuit breaker
for the Observing Level Pit utility power tripped. The altitude motors and
rotator are powered from this circuit. The breaker was reset and test slews
were completed. The skies continued to be overcast with returning storms
around 2300.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half remained unusable, with a little more rain, persistent
 high humidity, and clouds most of the time.

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