              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk,R.McMillan
We had generally good seeing, struggles with clouds most of the night.  There was a dust spike first half, almost closed, but did not.  Then clouds and radar got worse, closed until threat passed.  All programs were able to get some time on sky. As planned, Apollo ceded time to UW06.
