              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
The night started out mostly cloudy.  We had a switch so that UV01 could get some solar spectra, and GS01 came after them.  The first half of the night was a fight against thick stubborn clouds, suckerholes and high winds.  At no time did the conditions force a close, though.  After midnight, things cleared and CU02 were able to get decent sky-time.
