              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Thing started out well.  Clear and calm skies.  Seeing went from fair to bad as the night progressed, and the winds turned east.
Around 02:00 winds died down, and seeing improved. It continued to be clear.
We were able to stay open all night.
