                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
  High clouds throughout the night hampered observations but we remained open
  for much of it since brighter targets could still be observered. We did close
  for a few hours when the cloud cover was the thickest and the brighter
  targets for the second half observers were still too low to view. Otherwise
  the night went smoothly.

    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.
