                  ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
1st half  Observing Specialist: W. Ketzeback, J. Dembicky
Few scattered clouds started the evening. Opened the enclosure at 1900.
Closed at 2000 for over passing dark clouds, observers will gather flats
during this closure. Opened enclosure at 2050. Closed enclosure at 2230.
A short thunderstorm brought rain at 2328. We  closed the cloudcam, closed
louvers and shutoff the enclosure fans.
2nd Half Observing Specialist: J. Dembicky
Around 01:40 the sky had improved and it appeared that the threat of rain
had subsided.  I opened the enclosure again at 01:50 and we were checking
focus at 02:05. Skies cleared up nicely after this and stayed that way for
the remainder of the night.
