                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: R.McMillan
Az and Alt velocity scales unchanged.
A nice clear night with good to moderate seeing (possibly over 1.5
arcseconds second half; it was hard to tell because of faint targets
at high airmass).  APOLLO got record returns.  NIC-FPS behaved well.
There was one bad magnesensor crossing that took a few minutes to
identify and fix.  Three times an axis init failed due to
BadAltDTime, but there weren't many BadAxisDTimes aside from the
inits.  The second init attempt was always successful.  A pinch-hit
program rounded off the night after all the SN targets had set.
