                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Hurricane Otis continued to stream alot of clouds directly towards us. The
 conditions were much of the time in that grey area of wether it was safe
 to open or not. The first half observer was able to observe through two
 suckerholes. I was able to get data on just one SN at the end of the night
 when the cloud cover rapidly thinned out around 4am. The first half observer
 lost about 30 minutes due to a full disk on his local machine.

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