                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Clouds prevented us from opening until around 23:30.  Too late to get
 anything useful so I focused the telescope and handed it over to the 2nd
 half observer just in time to start his program at 00:00.
 The sloan observers reported lines in their spectra from an aurora
 happening tonight.  It was visible to the naked eye as well (very faint
 and red low in the N) around 00:30 and faded by 01:30.
 Everything ran fine tonight.

      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.
