              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Bradley
We started the night with a cloud delay, but it cleared up quickly at sunset.  After that, things ran smoothly with moderate to poor seeing.  We battled periodically high winds.  Gusts up to 35, but we were pointing in a safe direction and they never bothered us.
