                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 The night was clear, with widespread cirrus for most of first half,
 thinning out during second half.  Seeing was good but not great.
 NIC's ion pump spiked and maxed out during second half, along with a
 slight increase in the instrument's warming rate; toward dawn, the
 ion pump backed off a little from maximum.  The DIS blue-side ion
 pump remained high but not maxed out, as it has for the last few
 nights, but the instrument temperature behaved normally.

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