              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
High winds and dust prevented us from opening at dusk. Dust and wind was trending down and when they reached yellow-line values, we opened at 20:30.  Skies cleared entirely by 23:00 and the wind and dust died down to normal levels. It was clear and calm for the rest of the night, and we remained open.
