                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 We were able to open and get on the sky right after sunset for about an hour
 of science time before the clouds came pouring in. We had heavy rain for
 nearly an hour and a half tonight. Clouds and humidity kept us closed the rest
 of the night. I upgraded the data aquisition software for fastcam and spent
 some time working on some documentation.
