              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
A lovely photometric night with generally poor seeing.  Wind was light for most of the night; when it did get over 20 mph, I inspected in the dome and found no blown snow so I didn't think it was necessary to restrict pointing.  All the telescope files were restored, so pointing and collimation were fine.  There was a little trouble with the local network affecting laptops, but the remote users never got disconnected and the fixed machines were fine.
