                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Rain, thunder, and lightning during the first half of the evening.  The
 clouds finally parted around 02:40 and I opened (after a couple
 threatening looking clouds moved away) shortly there after.
 Of course as soon as I opened the enclosure, withn 5 minutes clouds
 started to form directly overhead and put a stop on a focus run that I
 was trying to do.
 The sky cleared again around 03:20 and I attempted to again focus the
 echelle.  Clouds again moved in at the end of the night, but we were into
 twilight by that time.
