                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Delayed in opening the telescope tonight due to clouds.  Finally
 determined that there was minimal threat and the thicker clouds to the
 West seemed to get thinner and we opened about 20:30.
 Clouds rolled in just as UW13 started and we couldn't see his star
 (Clouds thick enough to block the moon!)
 No problems otherwise.
