              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
The beginning of the night was cloudy with high wind and occasional dust.  The winds and dust calmed down enough for us to open, although the clouds were too thick for NM07--we sat and watched the guider for a short time.  Seeing was decent for the whole night.  Except for the first 20 minutes, the night was good and productive.  No problems with the drives.
