                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Tonight started out better than last night but had similar cloud
 problems from about 22:00 to a little after midnight.  During second
 half, the clouds were pretty variable.  They were too thick for the
 faint DIS targets we tried at first, so the observer decided to
 switch to DIS.
 Everything worked reasonably well except for the observing
 specialist's lungs.

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