              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
clouds rolled in right at the midnight switch.  My 2nd half observer took cals while we waited a few minutes for things to improve.
Clouds socked us in again at 02:10 - 03:00.
The focus Log times seem to be 1 hour off (they are ahead by 1 hour from the time when the focus measurements were actually taken).
