                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
 Heavy radar activity across NM; Otero county, saturated. Raining at
sunset. Rain and/or high humidity continued rest of 1st half. Opened
briefly just before end of 1st half to let observers have some experience
with the telescope via the eyepiece. Humidity still above 80%.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Clouds thickened shortly after we mounted NIC-FPS.  I decided to
 close the dome, and shortly after that the rain sensor went off, but
 I couldn't feel any rain outside, and the cloudcam didn't show any
 sprinkles.  For the remainder of the night we either had partial
 clouds and high humidity, or heavy clouds and borderline humidity.
 We never re-opened.
 But it's nice to know the shutter doors still work!
