              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We came.  We saw nothing.  We were defeated.
Alas, tonight was not meant to be.  The openings when the sky fancied to show us its photons were found to be few and fleeting.  Humidity kept us closed most of the evening...until it started raining and then rain kept us closed the rest of the evening until Humidity 2: The Fog struck with a vengeance.  We gave up shortly after 4am. Perhaps there will be more luck tomorrow.
I was not able to get Tcam operating tonight.
