              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night started out mostly clear with good seeing, then the clouds started rolling in.  It got very cloudy and we pushed it as far as I dared.  The clouds got very heavy and made me nervous, so we closed at 23:10.  We did not reopen, and we gave up at 05:20.
