                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 APOLLO tonight under variable cirrus conditions and moderate to poor seeing.
 Nothing definitive regarding laser returns however there were a couple of
 signals that may have been returns. Further investigation of the data
 tomorrow may determine wether they were  positive or false returns.
 We were forced by cloud cover to give up for the night by 3am.
 Ed Turner's Target was too close (less than 15 degrees) to the moon to
 observe.
