              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Clouds and threat of rain at the start of the night, then a clear patch, then some more clouds and threat of rain in the midle of the night, followed by more clear.  Seeing was moderate to poor.
Telescope and instruments worked well, so that's two nights with successful Tspec science this week!
