                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Mostly clear all night. First half went well. Second half was cut short
 when the dew point depression exceeded the limit and I was forced to close.
 We never reopened.

     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: The Tower Dust counter appears to be down at this time
