               ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We were open for the first program but clouds came in just as that
program was finishing up.  For
the 2nd program I opted to use the Echelle only as the clouds were
growing worse and was able to
get a couple exposures of eAur before we got completely clouded out.
I gave up at 04:30 with
cloudcover and light flurries.  No significant accumulation but more
might be headed this way in
the morning.
