              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out clear and breezy.  The dust count became high but not high enough to close, though I did close the louvers and only turned on the press fans.  The clouds cleared before midnight but returned at 4:30am. There was poor seeing all night.
No problems tonight.
