              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started of with a few clouds and moderatly high humidity (70%).  We were able to open and even had good seeing!  However, it did not last. The humidity spiked and at 23:03 we had to close.  We were not able to reopen all night.
No problems tonight (aside from a sticky sky).
