              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
The night started out mostly clear with reasonable seeing, but there were some high winds.  After some productive observing, the observer ran out of targets that were not in the direction of the wind, and in addition the clouds were thickening and some precipitation was approaching, so at last we decided it was best to close.
