                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 The first half observer fought mostly with thickening clouds until they gave
 up at 2130. We closed a short time afterwards and we never reopened. I finally
 gave up at 0500 when the dust spiked and the satellite map looked quite
 hopeless.
