              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
A band of clouds rolled in around 23:30 hampering observations for my first half observer.  He gave up a few minutes early due to the clouds.
Productive night with lots of data acquired, other than a little time loss due to the clouds at the end of the first half.
