              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
We opened at the start of the night but clouds came in shortly afterwards.  We observed until we were pretty well socked in and not collecting anymore photons.  We closed at 19:10 and never re-opened.  We gave up at 04:40 with no chance of opening.
No precip as of 04:40.
