              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Echelle was on the pump until just before midnight.
Clouds persisted throughout the night.  The wind was initially very strong, but it calmed down.  This allowed the humidity to rise for the rest of the night.  Gave up right around 12 degree twilight, having no luck with the humidity.
