              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Once again, we were able to open before sunset after a stormy day.  The clouds were heavier tonight and the seeing not really any better, but the visiting instrument was able to get a lock on a few targets.  We closed for a little while due to a dust spike that I didn't understand - it didn't seem to be smoke.  Once I felt that it was safe and the clouds might actually let some photons through, we re-opened.  But then the clouds and dust came back again, so we closed and just took cals.
