              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
NM05 observers from Calvin College:  Larry Molnar, Jason Smolinski, Steve Steenwyk, Sam Smartt (film crew), Kemp Lyons (film crew).  Karen's TUI session was filmed on her end.
The night started out beautiful, with good seeing.  In the last hour before twilight, clouds started rolling in.  When they got very close and developed radar returns, I closed.  It was close to twilight, so we gave up.
