              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Weather looked promising at the beginning of the night.  A thunderstorm rolled in very quickly and closed us.  It did not clear up again until the last few hours of the night.  Seeing was very good during first half, and decent to good in the second half.
No other problems to report.
