              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had an excellent night tonight! We saw the clouds of Venus in all their UV glory!  We were clear all night with little wind and good seeing, though the humidity started creeping up on us in the last two hours.  The laser went off with out a hitch, we tracked some NEO, and NM05 did something with binary stars in the IR.
Tspec is still bad but UV04 will be looking into it tomorrow (yay!).
