              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The wind blows early with the night... And it went from suck to blow after sunset.  Things were too pushy in the west so NM05 couldn't do their desired targets.  They settled for some mediocre ones before donating nearly an hour of their time to JH06 (thanks Drew!).  Thankfully, JH06's quasar was to the East and we were able to observe it for the entire time.  Even more amazing was the fact that the clouds cleared up and we could see the 20th mag little galaxy thing!  Things were a bit bumpy for the moon observations, but Russet managed to shoot it regardless.
No problems tonight.
