              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
A little breezy 2nd half with winds going over the limit just as we were about to finish for the night.  I stayed open to allow my observer to finish.  We were pointed out of the wind.
I left telescope pointed S to melt icd/snow accumulation on catwalk on telescope.
