              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
It was a great night! We had some pretty awesome seeing, there were some thin clouds on and off throughout the night but they weren't really any problem.  Europa was so bright that we could barely integrate without going non-linear! Which, let's just admit it, that's pretty cool. Another fun note, between the two programs tonight we went from the alt 6 East to alt 6 West! I did give flack to NM02 for starting to fall asleep at 10pm because it was just funny.
No problems tonight.
