              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
Night started out a bit dusty, but we were able to open.  Seeing was pretty good until the wind shifted around 1am and brought more dust in.  We checked collimation with Agile in between CU02 and NM10.  There was a small pointing offset, opposite to Monday night.  See Russet's email. Second half went smoothly, and the winds/dust never got too awful.  Seeing was variable after midnight.
