              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had heavy clouds and intermittent sprinkles for much of the night.  When there was a clear-ish patch second half we decided to be suckers; the clouds got worse as soon as we opened, but with bright targets the observer was able to get occasional useful exposures, so we stayed open into twilight.
