              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
The night started out clear with good seeing.  Later some thin to medium clouds moved in, but never enough to prevent gathering data, and seeing remained good.  Everything worked well.
Tspec is still bad.  Took darks all night.  There would be maybe a few dozen good ones at a time, but the vast majority were bad.
