              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shelden
Stayed open all night.  Clouds made data taking impossible from 21:26 until 03:23.  After that seeing was variable at best.  The winds stayed down for the most part.
Just as the sky was clearing, the zaphod disk became too full.  We lost the cloudcam, 3.5m weather info, and the dust counts.  Jon was notified via email.
