              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
First half was lost to heavy clouds and nearby radar returns.  Second half was mostly clear, with occasional clouds.
Used the NA2 guider to focus the secondary for GIFS.  While the instrument in the focus section below says GIFS, it's really the guider.
