                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Another nice night with photometric skies and moderate seeing all night.
 The echelle slitviewer crashed at the very beginning of the night, but
 was recovered quickly. The Apollo crew worked out some more software bugs
 in their system tonight, but did not detect a return signal off the moon
 again tonight.
