              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night was clear with poor seeing during the second half.  Humidity rose quickly during the first part of second half, and forced us closed.  Reopened when it was safe again, and we were productive the rest of the night.
