              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out clear, if a bit windy near sunset. Things calmed down for awhile but seeing wasn't great. Then the pollen kicked in. It was getting to be too much by 1am and I decided to close. We were not able to reopen. But CU01 finished up their training and now they are certified, yay!
