              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
AD01/02 observers:  M.Hammergren, K.Nault, M.Brucker, M.Nichols
The night started out with thin clouds and terrible seeing, and worsened with high humidity.  Once that cleared, we got open for a few hours, but dealt with thicker clouds.  Humidity spiked up again, just before twilight.
Had problems with the DIS turret, PR submitted.
