              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
tspec good, took 1500 darks.
The night started clear and breezy.  Seeing was good (~1").
Closed at 21:25 due to incoming rain. Clouds became thick so it wasn't possible to observe.  I reopened at 23:55 when the clouds cleared. I had to close again at 02:43 due to high wind and blowing snow.
No problems tonight.
