              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
At about 02:20 Kevin Covey's internet connection broke, and he was unable to get it back online.  He gave me a call, and gave the remaining time to the second half observer, whenever they signed on.  I took some extra flats for him, which filled the time until the dome had to be closed anyway due to weather.  The time spent taking flats is listed under OBS and the time after that under WEATH.
Throughout the night weather problems came and went--clouds and occasional high winds, which forced me to close at about 03:00.  Called it a night at 05:26.  Otherwise, seeing was right around 1" for productive data-taking.
