                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
 1st half Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
 Clear skies all first half. Seeing was good. We switched to Apollo at
 22:30. No problems to report.
 2nd half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
 Rotator Halted due to wrap limit at 05:19:20, observer was tracking thru
 zenith, but I haven't seen TUI not put the rotator in a mid-wrap state at
 the end of a slew.  The observer had been on the object for a couple of
 hours.  This isn't a problem, but the telescope did what it was supposed
 to do, just wasn't sure why TUI positioned the rotator so it would wrap.
