                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Open just briefly for a sucker hole at 4:30. Barely focused the telescope
 before the hole closed. It was overcast the rest of the night with occasional
 high wind gusts. The telescope temperatures were not updating tonight. This
 affected focus position when I did focus.
