              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out mostly clear and we had good seeing but the clouds started rolling in and stayed throughout all of B half.
UW12 had some trouble logging in.  Bryce was in France and his router died so
David and I got him to his field and started taking science images before Bryce was able to locate a pub and continue with his observations.
We learned some interesting French Facts.  For instance, did you know that it's common to have beer for breakfast and wine with dinner?  Bryce said he ordered coffee ;)  All worked out and his comet had one amazing tail to tell!
Clouds made UW05's observations difficult but we were able to get some exposures.
Pas de problèmes ce soir.
