              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had variable high clouds tonight ranging from very thin to medium.  Although we were open all night, there were some periods during first half with nothing on the slitviewer while we sat and waited for clouds to part, so I did count that time against weather.  During second half, the clouds were somewhat thinner and didn't really cause loss of time.  Otherwise it was a peaceful night and everything worked well.
