              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
GS01 observers: Misty Bentz, Emily Nicholas, Ben Ouyang
First half of the night was VERY dusty. The dust persisted the entire night, right up until the cutoff time for the last program.
We were able to open for the last hour or so of the night.  When we did, seeing was pretty good, surprisingly!
