              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Well, it was a bust.  I thought we could make it through one more night of amazing skies when it was predicted to be rainy but, alas, here comes the rain again. It sprinkled on and off all night.  Near dawn, there were patches of clear sky but the rain was too close to risk opening, even with the knowledge that the mirror is about to be cleaned (so like, what's a few rain drop here and there?).
No problems tonight.
