              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
All-sky camera and Alcor computer had to be restarted at the start of the night but
it's still going this morning.
We were completely overcast with some associated radar for most of the night, and
even got some light rain. Even though the clouds and radar started clearing, it
wasn't quite enough--we gave up around 03:45 due to science constraints.
