               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J. Coughlin
 Weather started off with some real thin clouds, but they cleared out
 after sunset and it turned nearly photometric around 22:00 for most of
 the rest of the night, with seeing just under 1". I closed just before
 twilight at 04:30 with clouds quickly encroaching with radar returns.
 No problems.
