              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
High thin clouds most of the night.  I got a new inst block for ARCTIC and a pointing model.  During second half there was a nice period of photometric skies, and I observed lots of standards with ARCTIC.  When the high clouds returned, even though it was safe to open I had no more tasks that could be done through clouds.
