              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started mostly cloudy.  We opened anyway on the off chance that data could be collected, and GS01 saw a few photos.  The next program was able to get some light as well, but clouds thickened and rain was threatening, so we closed at 20:56.  We attempted an opening again at 22:56, which lasted until 00:22, at which point rain threatened us again. We did not open again.
