              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
A nice peaceful night.  Some high clouds during first half, but never thick.  Seeing was somewhat variable but not too bad.
Mark came in during the day to charge the ARCTIC cryotiger, and Bill connected remotely in the afternoon to fix communications with the filter wheel.  After all that was done there were no further problems, and much gathering of photons ensued.
