                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
 Clear skies at sunset. Apollo had some bad seeing at the beginning of the
 evening. Thin clouds moved in around 20:00, but moved in and out the rest
 of the evening. Bally's class spent some time on DIS, then looked through
 the eyepiece for a bit. Then they put DIS back on we had around 1.0"
 seeing.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
 Second half went smoothly, with occasional high clouds and steadily
 improving seeing.  We did more DIS work on various targets, some
 narrowband imaging with SPIcam (0.65" was the best for the night),
 and more eyepiece play in morning twilight.
