              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Gcam failed on checkout, had to issue a startNubs. High dust persisted for the first part of the evening, finally settling down around 22:45.  There was a break between echelle programs from 01:03-01:16 to perform an IOL.  Skies stayed clear for the rest of the night, and we did not have any problems, aside from bad seeing. We stayed open until dawn.
