              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Onsite 3.5m training of Neda Hejazi
Clouds got thicker right around 01:00.  My first half observer just finished on sky observations and then used the remaining time for a few more DIS wavecals. For the second half observer, using the echelle, the clouds were too thick to focus, so we waited a bit.
Clouds off and on for the second half, with clearer skies the later part of the night.
