              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Heavy clouds and nearby radar kept up closed for the first half of the
night. NM05 called it at 23:55 knowing that he could not make use of his
time left even with good weather. Waited on a blip of radar to dissapate
until 01:10, when I decided to open the cloud cam and get on sky.
We battled clouds all night, but were able to take data until after
twilight. No technical problems.
