              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden, R.McMillan
Started to take scattered light tests, but had to stop for clouds.
Took a new pointing model.  Same as last night but going the opposite direction.
Did some more scattered light tests, and did one more pointing model after discussion with Nick.  Heavy clouds rolled in during the last pointing model, forcing us to give up hope of a final pointing model.
