              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland,C.Gray
Clear weather so we were able to open at sunset.
We used the eyepiece from 1am-3:30am, and it was really cool!
No echelle IOL for end of night because of long cals.
Weather was great and seeing was down to 0.8". It was an easy and beautiful night.
