------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Huehnerhoff
Thick clouds from the start of the night dissipated around 10 MST after
which the humidity increased above closure limit were it remained the rest
of the morning.
Since it is a cloudy night I have started on the cloudy night task of
performing the TSPEC flat test.  Data was taken as described by Bill in
all fowler modes but has not yet been reduced.
The DIS blue ion pumps seemed were above the normal level.  In the evening
it was sitting four bars above the black tape and in the morning it was
seven bars. (bars=square divisions on scale)
