              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Thick clouds rolled in around 21:45, and we lost all of our guiding
targets. We remained open until midnight, when I decided the dark, ominous
clouds were scary enough to close. Clouds did not thin out enough for
observations until 03:30, when we opened and pushed through the remaining
clouds with echelle. Weather held out for the remainder of the night.
