                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 I started the cooling fans early this afternoon (around 15:00) even
 though the radar looked kind of grim.  My observer showed up around 17:00
 and the skies had improved.  We opened around 17:30 and I proceeded to
 focus.  The seeing was a bit variable at about 1.5 - 2.0 arc sec.  Of
 course clouds started to roll back in just as I finished the focus run.
 Clouds shut us down around 20:30.  We gave up around 04:00 when it looked
 pretty hopeless at opening.

      Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.  The convention
      used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
      particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
      Note: Tower dust counter is down. No readings were available.
