                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Clouds and instrument problems kept us from getting on the sky first half.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Heavy cloud cover continued through most of the morning, then
 suddenly lifted for the last few hours of the night.  We focused
 DIS hastily and got going on the target for one exposure.  Pointing
 was poor, but we didn't take the time to correct it.  There was also
 some poor guiding when the azimuth tracking reversed direction, but
 the guider was mostly able to compensate.

     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
