              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Welp, the storm certainly hit. I thought we might be able to get in a couple hours but we were only able to get in about one. NM05 donated their first hour to NM02 and, well, NM05 didn't get anything. Though, given the weather, I doubt they would have anyway as a mag 10 star was hard to see.
The night continued with cloud, intermittent rain, high winds (45 mph) some dust, and general weather tomfoolery. We were not able to open again.
No problems tonight.
