              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Clouds started showing up around 22:00 and we observed thru them for the first half but by the
start of the 2nd half they were getting thicker.  I managed to check the telescope focus but we
were not able to get any science data second half.
We were never able to re-open for second half due to cloud cover.  My observer gave up at 04:50
with complete cloud cover at the site.  No problems first half when we were open.
