              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The winds are howling tonight.  Almost 60MPH gusts at the start of the night, with dust, not surprisingly, along with the wind.  The temperature also took a nosedive compared to yesterday.
Dust and winds came down around 21:30 and I opened at 21:45.  Seeing was horrible.  Despite this, and clouds, we did get some data tonight.
