              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
No hope of observing tonight. Winds were hitting near 60 mph and, once the winds died down to something near 40 mph, we had freezing fog and light snow. Or maybe it was the snow being blown off the trees, I'm not sure... Since there was no hope of opening tonight I called it a bit early.
I mounted the new 20" and 1.25" kosmos slits in the wheel and took guider images and flat spectra of them.
No problems tonight.
