              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
A clear night! The seeing wasn’t great at the beginning of the night due to the
north winds. Things improved for the second program and we had good sßeeing by the
end. Just in time for the BoG meeting to kick off!
No problems tonight.
