                 ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Slitviewer crashed at the start of the night on me.  Rebooted
Slitty and
 NFS did not come up.  Rebooted Slitty a couple more times and it came
 back up on the 3rd reboot.  No problems afterwards.  I tweaked focus
 during the night, seeing was around 1.2 - 2.2 arc sec.
 2nd Half Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
No problems second half. Apollo got returns tonight although they were
weak due to poor seeing conditions.
