              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
High clouds again tonight, but unlike last night they gradually got worse.
 During first half the observers were able to shoot through.  The second
half observer was not able to get spectra of any of his faint science
targets, but did get extra observations of his calibrators.  These data
allowed him to refine his setup and will probably be applicable to future
observations.  Therefore I estimated that approximately one hour out of
second half was useful on-sky observations, and this is reflected in the
"start" and "finish" times above, even though the dome was actually open
all night and the calibrator observations were scattered over several
hours.  Most of the time we were getting nothing or taking lamp cals.
