              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
We had medium to thick clouds all night, with a bit of rain in the middle.  We were able to make use of a hole during first half to observe one target successfully before the clouds thickened again.  During second half we also tried for a while, but the targets were fainter so the clouds had more effect.
