                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Clouds kept us closed until 21:45 when they seemed to stay thin enough
 for long enough to allow us to open.  Clouds thickened until the observer
 was getting no more useful data (I decided to keep the building open but
 close the mirror covers, since it didn't look too threatening just
 cirrus).  The clouds grew worse around midnight and I decided it prudent
 to go ahead and close the dome as well.  We never re-opened the remainder
 of the night

      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.
