              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Clouds on and off during first half but we observered thru them.  They
got worse after midnight and my observer couldn't get much thru them so
gave up a little early.
Weather improved later in the night and the second half only lost about
30 mins, although we fought clouds for a few houes after they started.
