              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Clouds and radar kept us closed for the beginning of the night. We opened
and attempted to get on sky, but CU07's target field was right in the
clouds. We did not obtain any data while open, so I closed when we were
clouded out at 22:33. We made a second attempt at 23:38. We were only able
to actively take data for 15 mintues, and then the clouds returned in full
force. We remained open, but unable to collect data. I chalked this time
to weather loss. Allison gave up at 00:45.
Echelle was able to push through the clouds, and they cleared soon after.
No problems the rest of the night.
