              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
We started out with some thin clouds, and managed to get through the task list before the weather got very bad.  Seeing started out decent, but got bad before too long.  We zeroed the rotator, reset the controllers, implemented a small pointing model, did high altitude tracking tests, TrackAdvTime tests, and kept an eye out for TSPEC problems.  Details in the engineering email.  We closed just before midnight, and were unable to open for the rest of the night.
