                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Opened quite early this evening. There were some threatenning clouds over the
 basin but they never got close enough before the evaporated after sunset. The
 skies were photometric for most of the night and seeing was quite good
 considering the winds from the north east. Humidity rollercoastered up and
 down several times throughout the night but finally forced closure a little
 before 0400.
