                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 The weather system that had been hover over us for the past few days
 moved west towards Arizona tonight. We were able to open however
 clouds still presented a problem off and on all night. Lost about
 half of the night total due to overcast skies.
 Wind was from the East-South-East so seeing was moderate to poor tonight.
 No other problems.
