              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Clouds, clouds, clouds.
There were high.
They were thin.
There were persistent.
BUT WE PREVAILED!!!
We were open almost all night but counts were pretty low for our bright targets and we closed at 6:00.  Seeing was pretty good all night and DIS behaved very well!
NM03 brought up two trainees (Matt Varakian, Kelly Anderson) who did a great job and should be pros by the end of tomorrow night :)
No problems tonight.
