              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out windy and dusty.  We were not able to open until 20:40 when the dust and wind had calmed down to safe levels.  The inside dust sensor was not working so I was more cautious about dust and stayed closed longer than I would have normally in order to make sure the outside dust levels were safe.  Once the dust and wind died down we had a nice night with moderate seeing.
