              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night started out with lots of clouds with verga, and increasing dust counts.  Once it cleared enough to open, the seeing was excellent and dist stayed stable.  Through second half the seeing got a bit worse, and the dust increased a bit.
