              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
First half was lost to threatening clouds.  We were able to open a little after midnight with mixed results.  After a few hours, things cleared up nicely.  Remaining clouds held off until morning.  While we were open, the seeing started off terrible, but improved as we went along. IT was around 1.3 when we ended.
No other problems tonight.
