              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.DeColibus
CU02 called it quits at 19:00, as the clouds had gotten too thick to observe their target. They donated the rest of their time to WY01, but WY01 couldn't shoot through the clouds either, and we closed at 21:30. A spot of slightly clearer skies came through around 23:00 and we opened for a bit to get some data. We closed up again at 01:01, then opened up again at 03:00 and stayed open until clouds came back around 05:45.
