              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The afternoon started out with thunderstorms but everything cleared up and we were able to not only open right at sunset but also managed sky flats with a clear western sky.  See was excellent all night.  However, clouds started rolling in near down due to a storm from the south and, as it was getting too bright for UW08's target, we closed at 12deg twilight.
