              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started with high cirrus but, thankfully, not high winds! Uuuuuntil about 11:15pm when it kicked up over 40mph. It reached as high as 50 mph. But, thankfully, it came back down by 3:30am and we were able to reopen. To absolutely awful seeing!! Getting up past 3"! But we prevailed and our user said they got some good spectra (yay!).
No problems tonight.
