              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist:    G.Saurage
Thin clouds most of the night. Second half winds increased past the closure limit. I
pushed to stay open with high wind gusts since we were pointed away and were not
seeing wind shake. Finally closed when gusts exceeded 50 mph. Winds stayed up the
rest of the night.
First half pointing was off a little with echelle. Put in corrections.
