              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had heavy clouds and threat of rain most of the night, with a few brief sprinkles.  First half was pickup engineering; I tried testing a new TCC version but I wasn't satisfied with what I could learn off-sky so later I reverted back to the official version.  I took lots of Tspec test images, all of which were bad.  I almost opened for a sucker hole after midnight, but it didn't last long enough before the radar scared me away.  Second half had even worse weather.
