              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Most of the night was lost due to thick clouds, high winds and high dust.  We got a few drops of rain, but not much.  When we were finally able to open again (the last few hours) the sky was clear, but dust was still a bit high and seeing was variable and not so great.
No problems to report.  Inst checks ran smoothly and there were no motion errors.  Echelle pointing was great.
