                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 No Problems 1st half.  DIS was turned off per Mark at 00:00.
 Telescope tracking was extremely stable, even though we had 30MPH gusts,
 during APOLLO.
 No problems 2nd half.  It got windy towards the end.
 2nd half observer had a problem with the auto-ftp at the very end of the
 night, but it cleared itself up without my intervention.  We could also
 not log into images@tycho.  Problem occured at 06:06 and cleared itself
 around 06:11.
