              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
I forgot to record the seeing for spicam.  It was MSSSO R, seeing was 1.06.
We started out with clouds in the afternoon that cleared nicely for sunset.  Things were beautiful for a few hours, and then we had to close for nearby rain and high humidity.  We fought humidity on/off during second half.  Seeing was terrible the last hour.
I had to make a slit mask for the 2.0 slit (10 minutes).
