                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Heavy clouds at sunset and nearby rain kept us closed for most of
 the evening.  We opened after midnight to try to catch a faint
 asteroid, a task made more difficult by the bug discovered yesterday
 restricting us to 5s exposures on the DIS slitviewer.  We were
 actually switching back and forth between slitview and TUI control
 of the slitviewer to try to get something through the clouds.
 Seeing was quite variable.
 At 01:00, we switched to work with APOLLO.  The observers didn't
 want to take the time for a full instrument block, but we did a
 quick-and-very-dirty measurement of the instrument offset in order
 to ensure decent pointing.  Then we confirmed pointing on a few
 stars and rushed off to lase at the moon.  Everything seemed to go
 very well.  Small puffy clouds gradually thinned out over the course
 of the morning.
