                   ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
  1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Barentine
  Moderately thick cirrus overhead around sunset with warm temperatures.
 I opened the enclosure to cool around 17:30 and within an hour we were on
 the sky and focusing through the soup.  The temperature climbed after
 sunset, accompanied by the wind shifting around to the east and the
 dewpoint dropping through the floor.   The rest of the half remained
 cirrusy, with seeing varying throughout.
  2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half was very peaceful, with widespread cirrus and good
 seeing.  I observed two echelle fills up in the dome and couldn't
 see anything wrong with them.

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