              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Last night for the class from OU.  Thin clouds and borderline dust at the beginning of the night, then clear (with just a little haze) later on.  Seeing was generally good but not always.  The telescope and instruments worked well.
