              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
High winds, high dust counts, and really thick clouds kept us closed all night long. The OU class got to take cals and slew the telescope with the dome closed, but we didn't get on sky. We gave up at 04:30.
No telescope or instrument problems.
