                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Afternoon rain clouds dissipated by sunset. . . Huh?  Why yes, in
 fact, I did edit this narrative!  We opened before sunset for
 cooling.  Weather was mostly clear for most of the night with
 poorish seeing in the evening which gradually improved to fairly
 good.  Some herds of small puffy clouds wandered by after 03:00.
 Everything worked well except for the things that didn't.

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