              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Varied clouds all night.  After a short period of getting data, we had to close for nearby rain.  A few holes presented themselves later but it never looked safe and we did get rainfall a couple of times during the night.  I worked on annual seeing statistics.
