              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Despite some afternoon sprinkles, we were able to open the dome before sunset to get some pupil measurements and get set up on Arcturus.  The visiting instrument wanted the tertiary mirror in a significantly different place from other instruments, which made pointing and guiding into a fresh challenge.  Thin clouds and variable seeing made science observations difficult, and we couldn't use the adaptive optics, but we were able to get some imaging on a number of targets.
