              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: D.DeColibus
Clouds during the afternoon starting at about 16:00; these persisted until about 22:00. NM06 was able to punch through them with the echelle and get science data, though, with good seeing (I forgot to run the focus-recording script when I initially focused after sunset, but it was 0.76"). NM06 handed over about 20 minutes early, so NA01 got a little extra time on sky. The skies were pretty much clear during B-half.
No problems tonight.
