              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
We had a beautiful, clear night tonight! Seeing was fairly good and, while the winds were gusting over the limit in the afternoon, they calmed down in time for use to open a little before sunset. We had good seeing all night, and very nice seeing before sunrise when we used the eyepiece to look at the planets!
No problems tonight.
