                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Once again, afternoon clouds lingered until about sunset.  We had
 poor seeing at the beginning of the night, improving to near an
 arcsecond later.  Heavier clouds drifted through for a few hours in
 the morning.  Although we remained open and exposing, I counted some
 time as lost to weather because the exposures were useless.  The
 telescope and instrument behaved perfectly, and there were only
 minor difficulties with the control software; some of the algorithms
 need fine-tuning to make it easier guiding through variable clouds.

     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.
