              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: A.Townsend
A few clouds all night but the radar stayed far enough away from us and we observed with very good seeing all night long. Pollen counts low, almost all below 50/hr.
Dome camera computer restarted itself due to Windows updates.
No telescope or instrument problems.
