                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: W.Ketzeback
 Clouds prevented opening until about and hour after twilight. Even then
 conditions were poor the rest of first half with variable seeing (when
 it could be monitored at all). Finally at the shift change I determined
 it was too opaque. With threatening storms on the radar I never reopened.

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