                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 A large spike in the dust counts at sunset kept us closed for an two hours
 at the beginning of the night. Continued internet dropouts resulted in a
 very painful night of observing for the remote uses. I ran the observations
 for more than an hour here tonight for the observers during various dropouts.
