              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Clouds at the start of the night.  They thinned out to cirrus around 22:00 and we were able to open.  The cirrus stayed around for most of the 2nd half with patchy clouds replacing the cirrus the last couple hours of the night.
No telescope problems tonight.
