              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Echelle checkout image had low counts.  I took another two images (before I ran the IOL script) with Qrtz and ThAr lamps.  Quartz looked fine, ThAr looked fine.
Clouds plagued us for the first half.  Nothing to threaten closing but enough to make my first half observers spectroscopic observations challenging with DIS.
Clouds plagued actually all night and the winds changed direction and temperatures plummeted during the second half.  Seeing went south on us as well.
