              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Tonight with Horizon rotation, the NA2 guider could not lock onto the guidestar quick enough.
Winds picked up after midnight.  I had the observers move to face away from the wind to help stabalize the mirror.  Their first target was directly into it.  We closed due to wind at 02:30 and reopened at 03:40 when the winds dropped below closure again.
