              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Weather was borderline at sunset, so I opened just long enough for sky flats and then closed to wait for improvement... and it got worse.  We watched clouds and radar until second half, when the sky finally got better.  After that, the remainder of the night was smooth and productive.
