              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Tspec good.
The night started out foggy and humid.  The fog left about an hour after sunset and the humidity decreased at 21:00 and we were able to open to a fantastic night!  Many pointing tests were conducted for CU02's program and the pointing was found to be superb if not downright amazing.  C.Grava is an untrained observer that assisted for CU02.
No problems tonight.
