              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
The night started out very clear and still.  Around 22:00 the wind picked up somewhat, and seeing degraded.  By 02:00 transparency decreased, but it was still clear (limiting mag about 5). Night remained cloud free and all observers got their full times.
