              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
So, there was some wind.  And yeah, it wasn't great for producing decent seeing.  But it was at least better than last night!  We were able to stay open all night and even had some periods of 1" seeing. Thin clouds rolled in around 2am and stuck until dawn.  They became thicker, making it difficult for UW10.
This was the last night for GS02 onsite observing and their undergrad, Dzhuliya Dashtamirova is now trained for remote observing.
No problems tonight.
