              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Weather looked promising and we were actually able to open before sunset.
Alas, there was only time to focus and get a standard star before clouds
closed in, then got thicker, then started to drip on us.  The theme of
thick clouds and drippy clouds continued for the rest of the night.
