              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Tonight started out cloudy and very much a mixed bag. We took advantage of a break between cloudfronts to open at 20:53.  The hole passed and we had to close again at 22:05 since observer was not getting useful data.
We were able to open again at 01:42 for Adler.  Skies were partly cloudy, but the threat of rain had passed. Skies became exceptionally clear and transparent toward the end of the night.
Tpsec checkout image appeared to be corrupted again.
