              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Cloud cam was down again tonight, which made determining cloud cover challenging after moonset.
1st half observer finished a little early and gave the remaining time to the 2nd half.  Clouds became too thick around midnight.  They thinned enough for observations around 02:00.
Humidity closed us at 05:00.
I left DIS mounted for morning cals.
