              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Shugart
Clouds and nearby radar kept us closed for the majority of the night.
Falling for some sucker holes, we opened at 02:10, but were soon clouded
out, and even lost V=5 mag stars. At this point, both 3.5m and 0.5m
decided to close after an unproductive night. Waited until 05:00 to fill
NICFPS.
