              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Well, the night started in complete cloud cover with virga for the first few hours. Once the radar went away, it was just a ton of clouds all night. Seeing was good, which was surprising with winds gusting to 32 mph. The lunar eclipse looked cool!
Arctic's vacuum pump is still struggling but temperature remains good.
