                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan, G.Saurage
 Stop me if this sounds familiar: rain in the afternoon, heavy clouds
 in the evening, humidity rising as the clouds thinned out.
 Fortunately the precipitous drop in humidity came before morning
 twilight; unfortunately, there were still some clouds around to make
 observing difficult, and seeing was almost as bad as you would
 expect.
 Everything worked well aside from the weather.

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