              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
The night was perfect and clear, with excellent seeing, until the last hour or so.  Some thin clouds rolled in, but they were thick enough to make George give up early (all his targets were very faint).
The Dataq stripcharts are running veeeeeery slow again.
