              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    J.Dembicky
echelle temp -109C @ 12:52UT
We had overcast skies to start the night, so a little delay on getting on the sky until things
cleared a little more (around 18:50).
I did not plug in the heaters for Bill since they were doing cals this morning.
