              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
First half observers finished a few minutes early.  I took the time to refocus the telesscope while I waited for the 2nd half observer to log in.
Lots of clouds 2nd half but we stayed open.  My observer estimated probably 1:15 of useful data, the rest was basically a lost due to the clouds.  He gave up at 05:15 for the night as it was hopeless at this point due to weather.
