              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
KOSMOS is here at APO!!!  Well, it is in pieces, on the floor of the lower enclosure, but it is still here!!!
Wind shifted directions out of the east, this caused the seeing to degrade and the dust (smoke) level to rise.  I could smell the smoke when I closed.  Levels never exceeded 4000cts
No problems tonight.
