              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Cloudy most of the night. Closed early for weather. Also, had some
pointing issues during the second half, but we couldn't determine the
severity because of the extreme cloudiness. Before closing, we were able
to confirm a first magnituude star. Gave up at 5:00 am.
