                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Things ran smoothly for the first part of the night.  I did an echelle
 slit swap around 00:20.  The wind picked up around 03:10 and the seeing
 degraded along with it.
 The wind gusted over closure limits around 03:25 forcing us to close.  We
 remained closed for the rest of the night due to wind gusts, rising
 humidity, and incoming clouds.

   used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is
   particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet.
