              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Huehnerhoff
Thick clouds till 2000MT, was able to stay open till humidity rapidly
increased at 21:20.
Second half user started early due to insufficient time for first half
user to complete science exposures.  Humidity caused closure for and hour
but was able to reopen under stable high humidity conditions.
