              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
What a nice night! We had clear skies, with only thin clouds in the last 3 hours, and good seeing! There was an altitude oscillation around 23:55 that last about 3 min (az=206, alt=60, I sent out an email) but, other than that, things were easy-peasy.
