              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Could see smoke from AZ fires at sunset to the West of us.  By 22:00 we had a strong smell of
smoke outside and dust levels (1.0um) slowly increasing.  0.3um levels were pretty high, I assume
the smoke particles are pretty small from this.
We should CO2 clean the mirror to be safe because of elevated dust/smoke tonight.
Internal UW13/UW16 trade tonight, UW16 observed from 23:00 to 01:04
